Each fall and spring, RISE hosts Student-Led Conferences, or SLCs, which provide an opportunity for students to gather with their family and school team to celebrate their growth and set goals for continued progress.

The goal of SLCs is to give students a chance to practice self-reflection as they learn to constantly monitor their own progress and identify ways to strengthen their learning and accelerate their growth. SLCs also give teachers, advisors, and student stakeholders an opportunity to hear directly from the student how they can best  support them towards their goals.

The schedule for Fall SLCs is listed below. You should expect to hear from your student’s Advisor  to schedule a 30-minute time to meet during the times provided. Please mark the date in your calendar, and come to the SLC prepared to share both celebrations and concerns or next steps regarding your student’s growth and progress.  We’re excited to see you there!

Fall SLCs: October 21 – October 25, 2019

Early Dismissal Guidelines

  • If a student does not have an SLC scheduled for Wednesday or Thursday, s/he is allowed to leave campus at 12:30pm.
  • If a student does have a scheduled SLC on Wednesday or Thursday, s/he is not allowed to leave campus before their scheduled SLC meeting (no leave/returns). Instead: 
    • Students will work (prep for SLC or complete coursework) in the Academic Support Block with Academic Coaches until their stakeholder arrives, and will leave campus with parent/stakeholder 
  • If parents/stakeholders are concerned about early release, please reach out to the Office Manager and inform them that you would like for your student to remain on campus until 3:00pm
