Dear AVID parent,

Your child _________________________ has been identified for AVID Saturday
School intervention. The goal of this program is not to punish students for
poor grades, but to intervene and provide support to students that need it.
Our goal is to prepare students for college, and that starts with success in
their high school courses.
AVID students are assigned a Saturday school if they have a D or F in an A-G
course (math, science, history, English). Your child has been identified for
this intervention for the following courses:
Course: ___________________ Current Grade:________ Date: _____
Course: ___________________ Current Grade:________ Date: _____
Course: ___________________ Current Grade:________ Date: _____
Course: ___________________ Current Grade:________ Date: _____
Students are expected to continue to attend Saturday school until they are
passing all of their classes with a C or better. A student can become exempt
from a Saturday school if their teacher signs the form indicating that they are
passing the class. (On the back of this form)
AVID teachers have assigned Saturday school contracts based on Q pulse
reports that show students that have below a 70% in their courses.
During the Saturday school, students will be expected to work on homework
and classwork for the courses they are failing. An AVID teacher will facilitate
the Saturday school and college tutors may be present to provide additional
help and support.
This intervention will start on Saturday, March 7 from 8:00 am- noon (4
hours). Failure to attend Saturday school may result in removal from the AVID
program. Other dates: March 21, April 25 and May 9.
If you have any questions, please e-mail or call your childs AVID teacher.
Sincerely,

Santiago High School AVID
