Required for Parent Release:

The Parent Release Request Form must be signed by the student and parent, then returned to the counselor.

The student should be off campus during his/her Parent Release period(s).

The student cannot apply for a Graduation Credit Waiver if they have used Parent Release periods

during high school.

Parent Release may only be taken during periods 1, 2, 7, or 8.

PEER TUTOR* (EL)

*A maximum of two semesters of aide credit is permitted during all of high school.

AVID (EL)

• Full Year, Grades 9 – 10
• Prerequisite: See your counselor for an AVID application

The AVID course targets students in the academic middle–B, C, and even D students–with the desire to go to college and the willingness to work hard. Typically, they will be the first in their families to attend college, and come from groups traditionally underrepresented in higher education. These are students who are capable of completing rigorous curriculum, but are falling short of their potential. AVID places these students on the college track, requiring them to enroll in the most rigorous courses that are appropriate for them, such as Honors and Advanced Placement. To support them in the rigorous coursework, AVID students learn organizational and study skills, develop critical thinking, learn to ask probing questions, receive and participate in enrichment and motivational activities to make their college dreams reality.
