AVID Mission Statement
To close the achievement gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society.
In the month of November we want to introduce you to the WICOR strategies with the AVID school community.
What's the WICOR strategy ?

Xello Exclusive Admissions 101: Secrets of College Admissions
This exclusive webinar will help families separate college admissions fact from fiction and enjoy the college process a little more. We’ll discuss: Attendees will get straight answers about what college admissions committees really look for and how they ultimately decide who gets in. We think kids and parents will be pleasantly surprised to learn that kids don’t have to be trilingual, opera-singing rocket scientists to get into college today.
