Rice Creek is focusing on our math fluency from January - May. This means we want to be quick and accurate with our math facts! Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade students are working towards 100% fluency on addition/subtractions facts, while 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades are workings towards 100% fluency on multiplication/division facts. Each grade level will have a math fluency kick-off this Friday. Ask your student about it and be sure to practice these facts at home so we can reach our goals!

Rice Creek Elementary is now a school-wide STEAM-M magnet school. We are continuing to transform into a School of Academics, Innovation and Leadership (SAIL). Students at each grade level will have access to all of the facets of the science, technology, engineering, arts, math and medical curriculum. All students will also have access to other comprehensive programs and learning activities such as a maker and robotics labs and an outdoor classroom. AVID and Leader in Me will continue to be embedded throughout daily instruction. The STEAM-M magnet will be led by Nikki Gilmore, Magnet Curriculum Specialist; Mr. Stacey Gadson, Principal; Mrs. Denise Webster and Mrs. Wanda Wells, Assistant Principals.

Please join us on Monday, January 8 at 6:30 to learn more about our STEAM-M Magnet.
