AVID ? What's that ?
Dear RTMS 6th and 7th Grade Parents and Guardians,
Do you have a student with college and career goals who could use academic, organizational, social, or emotional support in getting there?
If this sounds like your student, then the AVID class is a great choice for them. The AVID program is recognized nationally for its strength, and our AVID team at RTMS would love to be a part of your student’s middle school journey.
All students interested in AVID must apply, and the application is now open and available for current RTMS 6th and 7th graders.
The link is below.
The AVID Elective is an application-based class where motivated students receive organizational, academic, and personal support to succeed in academically rigorous classes. This includes the use of a planner, organization systems, note-taking skills, student led tutorials, grade checks, collaborative learning, character building, and college visits each year.
Please speak with your student to see if they would like to apply. All students who submit applications and will be interviewed to determine qualification.
The application is due March 1, 2021 and is posted on the Fort Bend ISD website or you can request an application from Mrs. Martin in room 401.
Interviews will be conducted in March prior to spring break with notification prior to the end of March.
For more information, please contact Kurllenne Martin directly at kurllenne.martin@fortbendisd.com.
RTMS STUDENT ABSENCES DUE TO COVID OR QUARANTINE

2. AP will follow-up to ensure the student received links as a “Classroom Guest.”
3. Counselor will notify teachers when the student is expected back on campus to resume regular F2F instruction.
**Classroom Guest – term for new online learners who transitioned to online learning from F2F due to quarantine or medical reason.
