RISE (Summer Bridge Program for Incoming 6th Graders)
RISE is an opportunity for students to learn about all things Deal and make a strong transition to middle school. RISE features guidance on everything from opening a lock to learning about our school-wide International Baccalaureate programming, including:
Opportunities to build relationships with teachers, staff, and fellow students,
Important middle school transition skills (such as keeping organized for multiple classes, checking your grades, and keeping up with assignments),
Time to engage in fun, engaging team-building activities,
And more!
Students must be fully enrolled at Deal for the SY 26-27 school year to participate in RISE. Enrollment opens on Friday, March 27 and can be completed online (https://enrolldcps.dc.gov) or in-person at Deal.
You may fill out the RISE registration forms linked below now to reserve your seat, but your student's participation in RISE will not be confirmed until their SY 26-27 enrollment is complete.
