Lower Elementary

Lower Elementary is an inspiring time for the child as they are insatiably curious about the universe!  In this multi-age classroom of first through third grade, children continue their holistic growth with lofty academic research and personally interesting topics to increase understanding and achievement in mathematics, language, science, history, the arts, physical education and more.   Children at this level are eager and collaborative students, with a developing sense of organization about their work, and their purpose and responsibilities as individuals and community members.  As active participants in their learning, RMCS students tend to be happy, inspired, and inquisitive, and striving— perfectly conducive to personal and academic growth. 

At RMCS our classrooms are named after California rivers to inspire our students’ research and study. We have three classes for students who in a conventional school would be in first grade, second grade or third grade classroom. Below are the names of these classes and the guide for each class.

​As a public school, students are still considered in each grade. We call the classrooms by Level, i.e., TK/K, Lower Elementary, or Upper Elementary and by the Classroom Name, i.e., Copper Creek, Kaweah, or Guadalupe.
