AVID?
What is that?
THANK YOU!!!
Thank you for taking the time out of your busy
schedule to view this power point. We are in
need of your help in locating and recruiting
students for the AVID program. The number of
8th graders that we are looking for is unlimited,
but we only want students who fit the AVID
criteria that will be discussed later in this
presentation. We look forward to working with
you as we create the AVID freshmen class for
the 2009-2010 school year
The Mission of AVID
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 rigorous college
preparatory path,
• will enter mainstream activities of the
school,
• will increase their enrollment in fouryear colleges, and
• will become educated and responsible
participants and leaders in a
democratic society.
In a nutshell?
Most, not all, AVID
students are
underrepresented
minorities -- Latinos
and AfricanAmericans -- who may
lack a college-going
tradition in their family
and whose success is
critical to closing the
achievement gap.
Students who sit in
your class and need a
push!

What is AVID not?
• AVID isn't a remedial program.
• AVID isn't a free ride.
• AVID isn't a placement
program.
• AVID isn’t for those students
who do not want to attend
college
• AVID is not a behavior
correction program
Okay, so what does that mean to
me?
• We are looking for
students to join AVID
next year.
• We have
approximately 100
openings and need
your help to find
them.
Your mission is to help us find
students who may qualify.
