AVID @ FMS

Advancement Via Individual Determination, AVID, is new to Foothills this year. The mission of AVID is to ensure that ALL students, and most especially the least served students who are in the middle:

  • will succeed in rigorous curriculum,
  • will complete a college preparatory path,
  • will enter mainstream activities of the school,
  • will increase their enrollment in four-year colleges, and
  • will become educated, responsible participants and leaders in a democratic society.

AVID @ FMS FAQ

How are students selected for AVID?
Teachers nominate students, who are then interviewed by AVID team members. Students who demonstrate serious interest and a willingness to work hard are accepted into the program.

How can I enroll my student in the AVID program?
Your student will be nominated by a teacher and then interviewed. Based on your student's interest and commitment, he or she will be placed in the AVID elective. Even if your student is not a part of the elective class, he or she will be exposed to AVID organization and Cornell notes in other courses.
