Notes Expectations
10th-12th Grade:
Sophomores, juniors and seniors are expected to take twelve pages of Cornell notes per week written and/or digitally. Specifically, at least one page of notes is required from each of your academic classes (English, Math, Social Science or Science, and AVID) and the other eight pages of notes may be from any class of your choice. In times when Cornell notes are not practical, students may utilize a learning log. Use the learning log for class activities such as movies, student presentations or labs. The number of note pages due each week may vary, however, will never exceed 12 pages.
9th Grade:
Freshmen must take SEVEN pages of Cornell notes per week. Specifically, at least five page of notes are required from academic classes (English, Math, Social Science or Science, and foreign language) and the other two pages of notes may be from any class of your choice (academic and/or AVID, music, art, etc.).

AVID Standards for Note Taking
AVID has established the following standards on note-taking for 11th-12th graders:
1. Take 15 to 25 pages of quality Cornell notes per week
2. Utilize Cornell notes as an advanced study tool, which will be continually refined and studied independently
3. Adapt organization strategy of note‐taking to meet required academic tasks, such as lectures, lab work, reading or collaborative work
4. Use the skills of underlining key terms, highlighting and going back to fill in gaps to sufficiently process notes that have been taken
5. Review, refine and use color‐coding on notes focusing on unimportant information, key information and potential test questions
6. Refine content on notes as new understanding is gained through reading textbook(s), tutorial sessions, study groups and discussions with the teacher/peers
7. Refine writing of higher‐level questions in the left column that corresponds to chunks of information in the notes section to ensure that they will generate higher‐level thinking
8. Reflect on all notes taken during a unit of study after the test is returned and consider gaps of study that led to missed questions
