AVID Binders

I spoke with Mr. Lambdin to inquire about the AVID binder and the ELA binder. His suggestion was to put the 5 ELA tabs after the main ELA tab in the AVID binder. That will allow you to keep all of your ELA materials organized AND allow you to have all of the materials with you when you meet in AVID.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please email me or Mr. Lambdin so we can help you get organized and get the year off to a good start!
