RISE at Deal
Welcome, families of future 6th grade students!
All incoming 6th grade families are asked to complete this Course Information Form to select your child’s world language and provide additional information.
We are happy to share registration information for this summer’s RISE program.
RISE is an opportunity for students to learn about all things Deal and make a strong transition to middle school. RISE features everything from opening a lock to learning about our schoolwide 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 to participate in RISE. Enrollment opens on April 1, 2025 and can be completed online (https://enrolldcps.dc.gov) or in-person at Deal. You may complete the registration forms linked below now to reserve your seat, but your student’s participation in RISE will not be confirmed until their SY 25-26 enrollment is complete. Students who do not complete enrollment may be removed from the roster for RISE.
Your student’s RISE week is assigned alphabetically by last name. Please see links below to register. Space at RISE is limited.
- Week 1 (July 7 – 10) – Last Names A – F: Register Here
- Week 2 (July 14 – 17) – Last Names G – N: Register Here
- Week 3 (July 21 – 24) – Last Names O – Z: Register Here
For questions, please reach out to Ms. Gathers, 6th grade assistant principal (stacey.gathers@k12.dc.gov). Please be advised that I will check and follow up on emails about RISE and future students weekly.
We look forward to getting to know your child soon!
