Division of Student Support Services

Restorative Interventions and Supports for Elementary students, RISE, is a short-term placement that serves as a proactive response to the increasingly complex needs of elementary students exhibiting behaviors that impede their ability to focus and thrive in school.

Vision: 

To ensure elementary students experiencing difficulties regulating their emotions have the opportunity to thrive in school thus furthering AACPS’ commitment to “Elevating All Students and Eliminating All Gaps.”

Mission: 

To provide customized, research-proven therapeutic supports and academic interventions focused on mitigating the various factors that inhibit elementary students’ academic progress and social-emotional well-being.

RISE will focus on providing therapeutic and academic supports and interventions to elementary students who are enrolled in Annapolis cluster elementary schools for the 2022-2023 School Year. RISE will permanently move to Rippling Woods Elementary School in the 2023-2024 School Year. 

Anne Arundel County Public Schools is partnering with Transforming Lives Inc (TLi) to make RISE a unique restorative therapeutic setting.  Transforming Lives Inc (TLI) is a leading and innovative provider of human services in the mid-Atlantic region. https://tliservices.org/

 * Placement into the RISE program is dependent upon a referral by the student's school in one of the Annapolis Cluster Elementary schools being served by this program.
