AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is a program in many FCPS schools designed to change lives by helping schools shift to a more equitable, student-centered approach. Teachers are trained to help close the opportunity gap, and prepare all students for college, careers, and life. Students experience proven strategies and take an elective to help their success and begin to develop a personal path to post secondary education. This spring rising 8th graders will have the opportunity to apply to HMS’s first Avid cohort for the 2019-20 school year. Watch for applications in early May.
If you have questions, please reach out to Karyn Niles at keniles@fcps.edu

Our 8th 5K is upon us- it is May 4th. More information can be found on our website at www.herndonms5k.com and here. This is a great community event for families and supports mental health initiatives at Herndon MS. Please encourage your students to run and remind them if they can’t afford the registration, they can still run- they should see Ms. Miller or Ms. Niles. We hope you are considering running as a family. If not, please consider volunteering- we need help with Packet Pickup and donations as well as on race day. Students can sign up to volunteer through PE but we also need adults to help with donations and to volunteer for this to be a success. Please sign up here at our signupgenius to help! Thank you!
