Academic & Student Supports
Academic Supports
R.I.S.E. (Reteaching Instructional Strategies & Supports)
R.I.S.E. stands for Re-teaching/Instructional Support and Enrichment. It is dedicated time made by each teacher on a weekly basis for students to receive additional support to help build to content mastery. AHS highly recommends students attend R.I.S.E. sessions when their cumulative numeric average is below 74 or when the student earns a 79 or below on a specific major assignment/ assessment.
To confirm the exact times of R.I.S.E. sessions, please refer to your teacher's syllabus or send the teacher an email to schedule an appointment outside of scheduled R.I.S.E. times.
