Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),
Your student has been invited to join “The RISE Team” (Raising Individual Student’s Expectations), at Deerfield Beach Elementary. I am the Assistant Principal and will lead this club. My goal for this club is to teach academic and life skills aimed at developing positive, responsible students ready for middle school and life.
The “RISE Team” will have two main objectives:
· To develop young men with confidence, methods to communicate, positive decision-making skills, & respect
· To create students with life-long learning skills (i.e. responsibility, organization, etc.) that will be applied at the elementary, middle, high, and college level.
The club will consist of different elements not limited to guest lectures, academic practice (reading/math), sports, team building activities, character lessons, and organization. Each week students will have a variety of enjoyable and engaging activities that will always concentrate on developing positive, confident, responsible young men.
This club will meet two Mondays a month after school from 2:00 to 3:00 in the Media Center beginning on Monday, December 7th, 2015. You will need to provide transportation for your child at 3:00 PM. Parents/guardians are expected to be prompt if they are picking up students. Students will be allowed to walk home but parents must be aware that crosswalk guards are off post at this time. We will meet the following Mondays:
December 7th and 14th January 11th and 25th February 8th and 22nd
March 7th and 28th April 11th and 25th May 9th
To participate, students are expected to attend each session and demonstrate appropriate Deerfield Beach Elementary School behavior. If parents continuously (more than once) pick students up late, student’s attendance is erratic, or students consistently display inappropriate behavior, they will be removed from the “RISE Team” with no chance of rejoining. We will be very strict with our guidelines, as we expect to have a waiting list of students to fill their spots. If you have any questions, please call me at 754-322-6100. You may also contact me by sending a note with your student or by emailing me at .
Sincerely,
Ms. Scott Mr. Gerlach
