RISD provides campus leadership & a center for student planning of post-secondary plans. This is the one-stop shop when it comes to plans after graduation. Students begin this journey as freshmen, sophomores & juniors. RISD offers a plethora of resources to help our student stay ahead of the game. This includes PSAT, dual credit, advanced & AP courses, CTE info sessions, vocational training mentors, SAT & ACT college prep classes, college rep & military informative lunch visits and much more. This prep-work puts our seniors in the right position for their senior year!
Junior & Senior parents attend presentations that offer Q&A sessions with the adviser. Student responsibilities intensify as they become more independent. Student sessions offer hands-on assistance with assignments, to help them set academic & post-secondary goals. No matter the plan, success is the only option!
The adviser works closely with students, teachers, administration, parents, college reps & the community to maximize success. With this prep work our students reach their goals.
The advising offices are open during all lunches, and students are encouraged to stop-by for walk-in Q&A sessions. The advising center also provides 1:1 meetings for any student or parent who may need additional support. The College Advising Center is fully equiped with all the resources necessary.

To receive the Service Learning Award for service hours, students graduating in RISD must have completed a minimum of sixty (60) volunteer service hours between the summer of their freshmen year to spring of their senior year. Students may earn qualifying service hours by participating in volunteer activities through school clubs, civic organizations, community organizations, charitable organizations, religious organizations, youth organizations, or through individual activities. Students may not count hours for activities for which the student received any money or other financial benefit for participating. Service hours are NOT required for graduation. RISD recommends students receive hours as listed below. However, this is a suggestion only. Students MUST have a total of 60 hours APPROVED by the March- Spring deadline.

* Students will earn a minimum of 10 hours during 10th grade
* Students will earn a minimum of 15 hours during 11th grade

Academic Achievement Record | Official Copies of the Academic Achievement Record
Universities or other entities that request official copies of the AAR directly from the RISD are responsible for obtaining authority from students for release of such records. Students may also request direct mailings of official copies to colleges or to prospective employers. An official AAR provided by the District may be differentiated from the copy given to the student or family. The words "Official Copy" imply that the AAR is transmitted directly from the school to the authorized requesting institution without the possibility of alteration. A transcript copy should be marked or stamped "Official Copy" only at the time of its authorized release to another institution or student-approved recipient, excluding parents. This stamp or manual entry is never put on the original file document and is not placed on the copy provided to the student or family. The principal or his/her designee may also print or type his or her name and title and date the AAR. An embossed school seal may also be used on official copies of the AAR along with the "Official Copy entry.
RISD must ensure that copies of transcripts are made available to schools to which students transfer. The transfer of the AAR may not be withheld for any reason. The transcript must be forwarded to the receiving district within 30 days of a student's enrollment in that district. The transcript is important for a student's appropriate placement and continued education as well as for various reports and entries on the assessment forms. The right of access to the transcript is protected by law (TEC 25.002). Use the link on the bottom right of this page to request a transcript.
Campus or District Academic Achievement Record Requests Procedure
Students may request copies of their AAR (transcripts) through the campus guidance office or the RISD Records Management Office. A request form must be completed and signed by the student and parent (if the student is not of age), designating permission to send grades, college admissions, and other test scores, etc. A fee is normally assessed for this record. In order for the AAR to be "official" (required by educational institutions, scholarships, and other agencies), it must be signed and dated by a school official and the school seal must be affixed. (See "Official Copy" stipulations listed above.
