We will hard to provide all students with the knowledge and skills they need to take control of their lives.
Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID)
At North View Middle School we believe that providing challenging and relevant learning opportunities is the key to our students’ success in middle school and beyond. Because of this belief we are excited to offer an AVID exploratory course to our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students next year.
This exploratory course is designed to support students, who are in the academic middle, on their path to college. This course is an optional class that students can apply to enter. The AVID program will continue to support these students and prepare them for college as they move on through middle school, and high school. Key components of our AVID course are:
- Skill development in the areas of Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading.
- Expectations of taking rigorous courses.
- The opportunity to be tutored by academic mentors.
- Tutorial activities designed to support students with challenging course work.
- Exposure to a college-going culture through guest speakers, college visits, college tutors, etc.
For more information, please visit WWW.AVID.ORG, and feel free to reach out to Anna Paulson, our AVID instructor.

One2One Mentoring Program
At North View Middle School we believe that the school environment should be inviting, safe, inclusive, and supportive of all and every student’s academic and personal development should be guided by an adult advocate. While much of this support is provided by staff at the building level, we also partner with community members to ensure that every student has a champion.
One2One, our community partner, has been working on some amazing things for next fall! Please take some time to view video below to learn about the fantastic opportunity many of our One2One students will be a part of next year. It also highlights the amazing experience many of our Dare 2 Be real students and former NVMS students were given to help design and implement a new law enforcement course for Metro State University.
