At its foundation is an emphasis on basic skill development in language arts and math. Teachers use a variety of resource materials to assist each child's growth in reading, writing, communication, and mathematics. Technology serves as a tool for such activities as information processing, simulation, and problem solving. To help students reach the six district outcomes, teachers emphasize student projects including community service activities, thinking skills development, and teaching specific attitudes and dispositions that enable children to become self directed learners and collaborative workers. The curriculum is designed to help children grow toward each outcome.
Teachers collect evidence of student growth as part of our assessment plan.
Student portfolios are shared with parents at conference time. The management team of Rock Creek includes the Principal, Dean of Students and Building Manager. A primary objective of this management structure is to provide more time for principals to focus on teaching and learning. There are many exciting things that happen at Rock Creek. We invite you to come visit us during one of our Visitors Days.
