= RISE =

RISE is a cross-curricular program connecting Freshman History, Biology and English. The core classes offer the same content as other sections, but these three teachers meet regularly to talk about curriculum and students to help make freshman year easier, more connected, and hopefully, more meaningful. Oh, and did we mention there are field trips?

Open House

Our pledge to our students:

 * We want you to learn how to THINK.
 * We want to know you as people.
 * We want you to know that we care about about you as people and as students.
 * We want to be accessible. (Thus, gmail chat office hours -- more on that here)
 * We want you to use and apply relevant technology.
 * We want to give you choice in demonstrating understanding of content.
 * We want you to collaborate and share -- and have the opportunity for authentic audience.
 * We want to give you a voice and and time to reflect on your personal experiences.
