Recruitment will also be aided by the fact that there are so many parents and students
currently on the design team who are eager to enroll at the school they are helping to
create.
Other recruitment activities will include but are not limited to the following:
Develop marketing materials in multiple languages;
Visit and speak at local community based organizations, such as the
ones listed above, in targeted low-income neighborhoods;
Conduct parent information sessions, facilitated by a combination of
design team parents and staff, to elaborate on the commitment involved
with attending the Charter School;
Speak at civic organizations, with a particular focus on local community
populations;
Invite local television and print media reporters to report on the school;
Encourage teacher referrals from other campuses;
Hold a series of public meetings each winter, in a variety of
neighborhoods to inform parents about the school; and
• Reserve an 80% admissions preference for "first-to-college" students—
students who come from families where they would be the first to
graduate from a 2- or 4-year college.
In subsequent years, ARISE High School will continue to employ the previous
strategies for recruiting students and will implement the following strategies:
• Promote the academic results from the first year through the media and
individualized marketing efforts, and
▪ Develop a parent recruiting committee as part of the ARISE High School
Site Leadership Council.
