We believe that all students can be ready to live their best life when they graduate, which includes being college and career ready, so there are no limits on what they can accomplish.

AVID stands for:

• Advancement – Getting ahead
• Via – through
• Individual – your own
• Determination – hard work!

About AVID

AVID provides students with learning tools they can use their entire lives, like:

• Organizing their materials and thoughts
• Using reading and writing strategies to remember what they’ve learned
• Setting, monitoring, and achieving their own goals

At the core of AVID, are WICOR (Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading)

AVID in Kuna schools

In elementary schools, this looks like students having binders or folders to organize their learning activities and using WICOR (Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading) strategies to grow in reading and writing

In middle schools, this looks like all 6^th graders taking an AVID elective to learn study, note taking, and communication skills that they can use in all classes and being able to choose the AVID elective in 7^th and 8^th grade to go deeper into career exploration.

In high schools, this looks like students using WICOR strategies in all classes and being able to choose the AVID elective for college visits, applications, and other career exploration.
