Alta Vista's AVID Class
28 Years of College Readiness and Academic Excellence! AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is a college-going program designed to prepare students for academic success in high school, college, and beyond. Alta Vista School is proud to have offered the AVID program for 28 years and counting! Our AVID program serves 7th and 8th grade students, providing them with opportunities to develop strong academic skills, leadership qualities, confidence, and a college-going mindset. Many of our AVID students have successfully been reclassified from English Language Development (ELD). We continue to support their language development through meaningful interactions with native English speakers, collaborative group work, Socratic Seminars, AVID tutorials, academic discussions, and other activities that strengthen communication and critical-thinking skills. Students also participate in college campus tours, allowing them to experience college environments firsthand, explore educational opportunities, and envision themselves as future college students. Many of our AVID students are among Alta Vista's highest-performing students, demonstrating outstanding achievement on the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) and in their daily classroom work. Alta Vista Eagles — College Bound, Future Ready!

Alta Vista's ASB
Our ASB is made up students who have been elected as President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. 8th graders run as per our by laws. Each homeroom in 5th-8th grade then sends representatives. ASB conducts rallies and assemblies all year long TK-8. Some of their primary responsibilities are the family breakfasts, Pumpkin Patch/ Halloween activities, Dr. Seuss Week and much more. They are the leaders on the campus and attend TCOE sponsored ASB/ leadership symposiums. The Superintendent and Principal have allowed them to also make decisions that are student centered through our School Site Council. Aquila-our mascot- is part of ASB as well.
Alta Vista's Drama/Choir Dept.
Our drama/choir program is just three years old, yet it has already brought incredible energy and talent to the stage with performances of The Jungle Book, The Lion King, and Frozen. We are proud to have many dedicated choir and acting students who spend countless hours practicing, refining their skills, and learning new techniques. Each year, they continue to grow in confidence and ability, showcasing remarkable talent and creativity in every production. Alta Vista is home to many bright stars who shine more brilliantly with every performance. Come join us and let your light shine too!
Alta Vista's Cheer Squad
Students interested in being on the cheer squad need to report to Miss Morales for more information. The Cheer Squad cheers at home games and performs at the WINGS assemblies. This is part of our 2nd hour of ELOP after school.
Alta Vista's Music Dept
AVS students have the extremely rare opportunity to participate in music ensembles that include all of the instruments of the symphony orchestra. Music instruction starts in preschool and continues through eighth grade. While our focus is creating music instrumentally, we do so with a heavy emphasis on literacy.
