Our elementary school offers many different times and places throughout the day for the students to remain physically active.
This is a view of a courtyard area where elementary students are able to interact while enjoying the great outdoors.
Our elementary campus is equipped with two computer labs to introduce computer technology to students at a younger age.
Families in our district are provided an opportunity to participate in the “Discovery Gardens” preschool program.The goals of the program are to:-increase interest in learning-improve social skills-ability to work in a group-increase self reliance-increase interest and excitement about school
Each class meets 2 days /week ( 2 ½ -3 hours each class.) Classes are available in Lamberton and Jeffers
There are a large variety of classes offered to students at Red Rock Central. Besides just the general “core courses” and a variety of electives, college credit courses are provided as well. These courses include College Composition, PreCalculus, and Cisco Networking. Occupational training courses are also offered. They include Automotive and School to Work. School to Work allows students to find a job off campus, and the students receive a grade based on their employers evaluation. Some students utilize this program to work for RRCNet throughout the school day.
Our automotive shop was also included in the recent new addition. It provides students an opportunity to receive hands on experience for a possible future career in the automotive field.
At Red Rock Central we are proud to have a nonprofit organization that provides internet communications, e-mail, and trouble shooting to local residents. This business provides both dial-up and wireless internet. It also provides an opportunity for students to work and gain knowledge in this field. Other than one adult supervisor, RRCNet is operated and managed by students who are hired by the boss/ educator.
Here we have one of the five computers labs where students can enhance their educational experience. All computers have access to the internet and many other programs.
