Welcome to AVID!

Credit Recovery is a web-based course generated by E2020 that provides students the opportunity to regain credits lost after unsuccessfully completing course work needed to meet the requirements for a Texas high school diploma.

Students spend one class period per day regaining lost credits.
They may also continue to work at home, before and after school.
Tests and quizzes, however, must be completed during the student's credit recovery class time.

Students are expected to keep a notebook or spiral, take written notes, stay focused on the goals of credit recovery, have excellent attendance in class, and practice a mature work ethic.

It is imperative that credit recovery students have the determination and the goal of acquiring the credit(s) necessary for high school graduation.

As your teacher, I am committed to creating a successful learning environment, offering extended lab time for continued work, supporting you with positive encouragement, and helping you stay focused on your goals and your future.

Communication Applications is a course designed to teach the skills and strategies needed to become a successful communicator in a variety of "real life" situations.

The course will provide a "how-to" approach that helps build student self-confidence and the development of practical, everyday skills for both professional and social communication.

Practical application of these skills will strengthen the student's ability to communicate appropriately and effectively.
