Joining AVID was a good choice because it helps you study for your tests and it makes annotating notes easier. Always come prepared when it comes to AVID because without your tools you might have a hard time.

welcome to your new home Fitz!! I believe all of you will survive. Yeah there will be some struggles in the beginning of the year because of the new scheduled you will now have six classes to go through, and need to learn many new things we do. Not all your classes will be hard and some might be fun if you just listen and pay attention. I hope you all love it here in your new home 7th graders!!!!!!

7th graders, 7th grade isin't as hard as you think. 7th grade is pretty easy as long as you do all your work. Trust me dont fall behind and have to catch up on all your work it sucks. But other that that 7th grade is pretty easy and enjoy it. "It goes bye fast"

Avid is a really fun class when you have friends in the same class. Its a easy class to be in if you pay attention. You have to do binder checks and TRFs. If you end up falling behind the tutors can help you get back on track. You get graded off extracurrucuar hour too. I recommend to stay and help Mrs. Bullis.

AVID can be something, it is an elective that you can try that requires an interview (though, i'm not sure if it does), it can help you organize all your work and set goals for yourself and I will miss having 2 classrooms for AVID but now it won't be 34/36, if you are a seventh grader in AVID, Have fun and don't mess around too much! :)

When you have to find a class people will be nice to you. Don't feel scared to ask where things are. When you first get their the teachers are super nice. Your gonna have a good time and feel free to ask around.

To survive in avid you have to study your notes and turn in all your assignments. Also, you can also get extra curricular hours. Extra curricular activies are activities that you stay after school for and help out. An example is like pentathlon or art club or drum line.

If you have a missing assignment you have lunch to finish it, and if you can't finish during lunch then you can go to Mrs. Bullis if she is available after school. If Mrs. Bullis can't help after school than you can always go to another teacher if they can help!

Avid you have to be in it for 7th to 8th and if your going to drop out u have to show that you don't need the class by having good grades and no missing assignments but avid is a class where you get all your work done . I really like avid because they are always checking our grades and if you have a missing assignments they put you to work on them your not going to like it at first but then your going to see how it helps so much .

# data[].attributes.body
If you have commited to avid you did the right thing. Though avid might be boring your first year I promise that it isn't. In the future, knowing the structure and criteria that avid has instore for you is good for you. It might be hard but there's always someone there to help you.  If you do leave avid its ok. Just remember the things that they taught you and use those strategies when you move on to other grades.

At first I thought Avid was really boring, but then I realized it was pretty cool because we did a lot of team building activities. I would suggest finishing your binder checks at the beginning of the week, so that you don't have to worry about doing it at the last minute.

Avid is pretty easy since we annotate notes, do binder checks, and tutorials. We also are able to talk to our friends most of the time so it's more fun. On occasions, Ms. Bullis plays movies for us. Akeelah and the Bee is pretty good. I'd recommend to not talk back, yell, or talk over Ms. Bullis because she becomes very irritated. Overall it's pretty easy to achieve a solid grade in Avid.

Getting used to your schedule will be a challenge. You're going to have to go back and forth from the East to West quad. If you're in advanced classes you will want to try hard in them especially Ms. Gunderson's class. Do not turn in your work last minute it will just lower your grade and get you stressed. Be respectful to all your teachers and have a good year.

Hey 7th graders, Avid will help you out in the future but also help you out now. Yes it will be boring and feel like a whole lot of work at times, but it's temporary. Avid will give you strategies to get good test scores and help you understand a lesson better than you already understand. Overall, the class is pretty useful.

Make sure to turn in your assignments on time. Turning them late will make you lose points. Especially if you have Ms. Gil for history you will lose many points for turning your work in late. So make sure that for all your classes just make sure all your assignments are turned in on time.

If you keep up with having good grades in your classes (A's and B's), you are allowed to have Pride club sticker and leave three minutes before to get lunch earlier (it gets really packed).

For 7th grade you will have 6 classes, however in order to do well in 7th grade, all you have to do is study, pay attention and be good in classes. Classes like math, especially math 8 and Algebra will require a bit more studying and a lot of attention for its formulas. and history and science will require short but good notes as there's a lot to study for. English will require you to pay attention and study for the state test. That's about all you need to do in order to excel in 7th grade.

Avid is a useful class for all of the school year. It can be helpful if you have a missing assignment because they give you time to work on it. They also help you annotate a note which can be useful to study for a test which can boost your grades. Avid can help you boost your grades and guide you into the right direction. Overall the class is pretty good.

Finish your binder checks.  Binder checks makes a huge part of your grade.  Finishing binder checks is a big priority.  Doing binder checks are easy and they don't take a big part of your time.  Doing a binder check takes not more than 20 minutes of your time.  Do binder checks when you have free time in any period,when your done with a test or lunch time.  In role in a club.  Extracurricular hours can save your life when you have a low grade,they are graded as a sumitive.  A few good clubs to in role in are weight room,art club and ASB club.  Overall be a good student and you can pass the class with an A.

You will have 6 classes. PE always try your best and change out! It affects your grade a lot. 2 English classes, it's easy if you try and if you have Ms. Gunderson always do your work early. Avid is your elective it's pretty easy and nice just remember to annotate your notes and write in your binder. You will have History or Science, I enjoyed science and it is enjoyable if you listen. History has some homework and on Wednesdays you do coding, just listen to the teacher and take notes!! Math can be difficult but the notes you take in math are easy to annotate. Don't wait till the last second to finish your work. Good Luck!

# data[].attributes.body
Incoming 7th graders DON'T DO YOU WORK LAST MINUTE trust me. Whenever there was a binder check, i'd be stressing out last minute to finish my note. Luckily I was able to pull it off and finish my note in time. I'm glad I will be able to finish the school year with an A in AVID. Plus, remember to have a note prepared before annotating. AND BE ORGANIZED. During binder check, the tutors WILL check your pencil bag. So make sure to have extra pencils. Also, have your backpack organized. You don't want to have any loose papers. Anyways, if you do everything on this padlet, I guarantee you will survive AVID. Good luck!

Although there are six classes in total, you wont receive too much homework in 7th grade so there's no need to stress. However studying and paying attention and doing your homework early is absolutely necessary for 7th and 8th grade. If you're in advanced math (Math 8 or Algebra) it's absolutely necessary to study in order to memorize some formulas. And for history and science, short but good notes are the best choice. For English, pay attention and study a bit especially for the state test. 7th grade Avid isn't too difficult just do your homework in time and you'll excel in Avid. That's about all and you should do amazing in 7th grade.

# data[].attributes.body
the key to Avid is to be able to study and remember what you study. that is the point of binder checks, to remember what you learned. in Avid, remember to have a positive attitude . Learning to study by yourself and being organized is crucial in avid because avid prepares you for the future. And don't worry if you have a bad grade, there are many opportunities to improve that grade.

Avid wasn't difficult for me. Personally avid is kinda a easy A if you finish your binder checks, and participate during the TRFS. The easiest annotated note for me is the math one. Its pretty easy if your a good note taker. Overall, avid was is fun and hope you have a great time.

I will be giving tips and other info on the teachers I have and how they work things just for a head start for you guys.

If you have Mr. Nguyen as you math teacher, he's just very chill and talks about his ex's sometimes. But he also teaches you the bare minimum. You'll walk into class and you just have to copy notes or do IXL's. When he's teaching you'll want to pay attention because he teaching very simply a quickly so yeah.

Mr. Couch is one of our PE teachers and he's also pretty chill. Mrs. Morrison is the other PE teacher and the girls, including me, complain that she just takes her sweet, sweet time unlocking the changing rooms to the point we only have like 2 mins to change. Otherwise, If you're already physically fit, only March Mile Madness will bother you.

Mrs. Gunderson is the most interesting person I've ever met. She also assigns a compitition or game after learning something to test you.

That's pretty much all you need to know. Have a great 7th grade year! (Also you don't get a lot of work either)

7th graders will have a total of 6 classes. One will be a math class where you can go into 7th, 8th, and algebra math depending on how good you are at math. There will be two english classes but people in dual language will instead replace one of their english classes with spanish. Next, there is P.E. which makes you do physical activites. Science and history is a two semester subject where you switch once it becomes spring scheldue. Finally, you will take avid which is many different activites with you having to complete different objectives every day such as preparing for tests or annotating notes.

For incoming 7th graders NEVER procrastinate and do your work on time. This is a way for you to be ready for upcoming assignments and to avoid being behind on your grades aswell as each of your 6 classes. Be organized and DO NOT forget to write in your agenda. This will be helpful by allowing you to remember assignments and homework you will probably forget to do. When in your class take notes on things you don't understand. ALWAYS review notes taken in your classes for upcoming tests or quizzes. All in all have fun and enjoy. Go you!!

A simple way to just survive is to always stay organized. This will be something that'll be very important and useful. This will help you find papers much quicker and will help you stay on track. Easy ways to stay organized is by having folders for each class and using them often. Another way to stay organized is to have an agenda and write in it every day. Things you can write in the agenda is the work you get assigned, things that are due soon, and some things you did for that class. Coming from someone who had AVID, being organized is an absolute thing that was learned how to do and it's necessary and needed.
Another way to survive is by getting enough sleep. This is very important but yet I did not listen myself and regret it everyday. By getting the full eight hours of sleep you need every night, it'll let you have energy for the next day which will allow you to stay focus in class instead of trying not to fall asleep and feeling tired everyday.

Incoming 7th graders!! Hi. I wish you all good luck with your first year at Fitz (even though it's only two years) The total of classes you will have are 6 classes every day. 5 days a week. You will have one P.E class, two English classes, one class half of the year science or history for each semester, math, and of course your elective, AVID. Don't be late or be absent so that you don't miss a lot in your classes, try your best. Any doubt or concern you have, ask, don't be afraid.  I know that not everything in life is easy, and I know I don't know you, but everything will be alright.

A couple of tips i'd give incoming 7th graders is to not procrastinate it will always lead to you rushing your work and doing it incorrectly. A thing you should absolutely never do is disrespect a teacher it is not cool and will cause the teacher to rather dislike you. Another tip I'd give you guys is to choose your friends wisely never hang around with kids who do things one shouldn't do.

# data[].attributes.body
To survive Avid and school in general mind your business and do your work. Don't focus on irrelevant drama, it doesn't make you cool, it's kind of embarrassing. Do your work and have the motivation to be the best. Use your agenda so you won't forget important assignments or events. Agendas are extremely useful. TRY TO LOVE SCHOOL<3

# data[].attributes.body
Some ways to survive in school are to finish your work in time and not procrastinate. Doing work at the last minute or delaying it because you don't want to do it can cause a lot of stress and add a lot more work to do in a smaller amount of time. So it's best to finish your work when you have the time to do it so you don't have to struggle with multiple assignments. Don't put off what can be done today, tomorrow.

# data[].attributes.body
Make sure you communicate with teachers. You'll have 2 English classes, in my opinion, these classes are the hardest to catch up on. Most teachers will give you time in class so there's rarely any homework. For 2 quarters you'll have history and for the other 2 quarters, you'll have science. There's no particular order on which class you'll have first. History is a very easy class, you may get overwhelmed because we get assignments every day but your teachers guide you through it and give you lots of time in class. Along with science, there's an extreme amount of things to learn science but the teachers are extremely helpful. Math is a pretty basic class unless you're extremely smart and get into algebra. For pe, you may get overwhelmed but don't give the teachers your excuses, they don't care. Dress out every day or it will affect your grade. I promise you no one's going to make fun of you for following the rules. You run a mile every Monday. During the month of March, you run one every day. Don't refuse to do the mile, at least walk it. Miles are a huge part of your grades. You make find pacers overwhelming but everyone does. Try your best.

# data[].attributes.body
Avid is an important class for your future. It helps with organization and preparation for college. TRFs can be very annoying but it helps you understand the concept you have trouble with a better understanding. Binder checks can help with a better organization on taking notes and completing agendas will help you organize your daily homework. Avid is very helpful.

# data[].attributes.body
In your classes, if you are kind to your teachers and say good morning and participate in class you'll survive and if you ever rush a homework of her you'll probably get full points because they will like you.

STUDY BEFORE TESTS!!! It would help a lot especially if you don't understand the topic, especially math if you are in math 8/algebra.

DO NOT PROCRASTINATE!!!
If you procrastinate you would end up doing most of your assignments minutes before its due like I did.

LUNCH FOOD!!!
Lunch food is very nice indeed especially on Thursday with the pizza mhm mhm.

I am ending the school year with A's and B's. My tip to you is to do your work. Its not as hard as everyone makes it seem. Start the school year off strong and finish off strong. It's okay if you struggle a bit here and there just remember to always get back up on your feet. Just make sure the work gets turned in eventually. Also, dont get into any unnecessary trouble and drama. Just mind your own business and you'll be fine. Don't get into any fights either, it's not worth it. It doesn't make you cool. Try to make lots of friends too. Just remember to have fun too!

P.S. Dont listen to Cruz Vega Sanchez
