8th grade students prepare for AVID high school experience

District 8th grade students selected to participate in the high school AVID program recently had their move up program at Walla Walla High School. These students are joining a exclusive program aimed at providing them with skills necessary to be successful in college. AVID students are expected to access rigorous curriculum. The AVID elective class is an avenue for students to acquire skills in communication, critical thinking, note-taking, peer-tutoring, organization, time-management and more. Students become a family by staying together for four years with the same group of peers and teachers. This is where the deep relationships are nurtured.
