What is RISE Time?
What is RISE Time?
RISE Time is a dedicated period in our high school schedule designed to help students grow academically, personally, and as leaders. It supports both our Leader in Me framework and each student’s Individual Plan of Study (IPS).
RISE stands for:
Reflect – Students take time to review progress toward academic, personal, and post-graduation goals.
Inspire – Activities and discussions promote leadership skills, positive habits, and goal-setting.
Strategize – Students use their IPS to plan next steps for college, career, or personal growth.
Engage – Opportunities to connect with mentors, access resources, and build relationships.
Through RISE Time, students:
-
Apply the 7 Habits and other Leader in Me principles to real-life situations.
-
Create, monitor, and update their Individual Plan of Study, ensuring their courses and activities align with future goals.
-
Learn self-advocacy, organization, and time management strategies.
-
Receive support for academics, career exploration, and personal well-being.
RISE Time is all about empowering students to take ownership of their learning, set meaningful goals, and graduate prepared for their next steps—because at Central Jr/Sr High School, we are committed to Greatness Happens Here.
What is WIN Time?
What is WIN Time?
WIN stands for What I Need, and it’s a focused time in our schedule designed to give every student the extra support—or challenge—they need to be successful.
WIN Time is built around two main priorities:
-
Reading and Math Interventions – Students receive targeted, tiered supports based on their needs. This could mean extra help in building essential skills, extension activities for advanced learners, or focused practice to strengthen learning.
-
Student Success Seminar – New this year, WIGGY WEDNESDAY will be dedicated time for students to track and work toward their Wildly Important Goals (WIGs). This involves:
-
Monitoring attendance and tardies.
-
Staying on top of assignments and developing organizational strategies to avoid the MAP (Missing Assignments Program) list.
-
Tracking lead measures—the daily and weekly actions that help students achieve their big goals.
-
By combining academic interventions with goal-setting and accountability, WIN Time ensures that students receive the “What I Need” support to grow in skills, habits, and personal responsibility. It’s about closing gaps, stretching strengths, and making sure every student is on track and committed for success!
Request to Meet or Parent Concern Forms
In an effort to improve communication and transparency - students, parents/guardians, and community patrons are encouraged to use the following forms to request to meet or share a concern:
Immunizations & Medications at School
Be sure your children are up to date on their immunizations. For last year's students, Nurse Stephanie sent home letters this summer to help families prepare.
If your child takes medication at school, we will need a new medication form from the doctor.
Please CLICK HERE to print and complete the form required to turn into the office
