RISD Safety Reminders

The safety of students, staff, and visitors is a top priority in RISD. We have several proactive measures in place to provide a safe and nurturing school environment that promotes student academic growth.

By teaching and reinforcing academic behaviors and higher-level thinking at a young age, AVID Elementary teachers create a ripple effect in later grades. Elementary students develop the academic habits they will need to be successful in middle school, high school, and college, in an age-appropriate and challenging way. Children learn about organization, study skills, communication, and self-advocacy. AVID Elementary students take structured notes and answer and ask high-level questions that go beyond routine answers.
