December was an exciting month for our school as we collected our 2nd round of data, had our enrichment showcases, and of course our NYSED Renewal Visit. We feel really good about where things are as we head into the winter break and look forward to making our school community even stronger in 2024!

 
  A. Cary's School Update FYI Cary Finnegan 10 m
   

The month of January was a great start to the new year at Brooklyn RISE! We came back from the winter break ready to hit the ground running with fresh data and intervention/instructional plans to support students. We have had some fluctuations in our enrollment due to the number of students we have living in the migrant/asylee shelters, but overall our numbers have stayed stable. We are looking forward to two more strong weeks before the February break!
