Upper Elementary

Excitement and mastery are a tone of accomplishment in Upper Elementary at RMCS.  Multi-age classrooms of fourth-sixth graders, complete the elementary plane and cycle of self-discovery and leadership.  For Upper Elementary students, learning is about refinement of independent thinking, a self-directed sense of accomplishment, and mastery.  Integrated and interdisciplinary work continues but on a much grander scale as students increase their organizational and academic skills and to be able to reach new heights and complete increasingly complex projects culminating in their sixth grade with a thesis-like year-long project on a subject of their choice, presented in a multi-media presentation.

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. Upper Elementary specifically has 2 classes and Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Grades.
