Each school has a site council, which is a group of parents, community members, business representatives, teachers and other school staff. Site councils identify, consider and discuss educational problems and issues at the school. Councils provide advice and counsel for evaluating state, school district and school site performance goals and objectives. Councils may also recommend methods that may be employed at the school site to meet these goals and objectives.

The Southeast Site Council meets monthly during the school year; times and dates are determined annually at the September meeting. Contact the school for more information or if you are interested in serving.

AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination)
AVID is a four-year regularly scheduled college preparatory elective class for students in the middle with academic potential. Both teachers and tutors are trained to use specific teaching methodologies and materials to work with these students. AVID students experience support through study groups and individual work, with assistance in all academic areas. Lessons are also offered in note taking, study skills, test taking, time management, ACT/SAT and college entrance/placement exam preparation, and effective textbook reading and library research skills. Students receive extensive help in preparing college applications and financial aid forms, and visit numerous college campuses throughout the year. In addition, on-going home contact and quarterly AVID family nights are vital to the success of the program.
