AIMS Intervention/Dropout Prevention Program- Beginning this fall, Avalon will be a 21st Century Learning Center site offering after school and summer school programs for eligible students and their parents. Students will enjoy healthy after school snacks, receive homework help, and experience a variety of activities including academic assistance, physical education, sports programs, strategy games, computer clubs, art/music/drama programs, journalism, and adult GED/English Language Instruction in a safe, supervised environment.

Seventh and Eighth grade students at Avalon will also benefit from the new Career Exploration Opportunities program funded through a state AIMS Remediation/Drop-Out Prevention Grant. Each student in this program will work with Avalon’s Guidance Counselor to develop a Personal Learning Plan integrating personal and academic achievement goals, workforce skills, career portfolios, aptitude inventories, secondary plans, and post secondary plans. Students who fall behind will be offered tutoring, remediation, mentoring, after school programs, and summer school opportunities.
