Building A Successful Foundation
Six of the thirteen years (Kindergarten through 5th Grade) of your child’s primary education are spent in elementary school.
During this critical developmental stage, Clear Creek Independent School District provides your child with a safe place to develop a true love of learning while establishing critical thinking, problem-solving, and time management skills. The skillsets learned paired with fundamental knowledge development help lay a foundation for a bright future.
Be Curious. Create. Explore.
At Clear Creek ISD, elementary school begins with Kindergarten—a place where your child develops curiosity, creativity, and exploration. In a classroom setting, teachers incorporate learning, socialization, and exploration through playing, singing, and practical activities such as drawing to aid in the transition from home to school.
Starting in first grade, your child transitions to classroom-based learning taught by a grade-level teacher. Within each classroom, students learn as a collective group, in small groups, and independently. Your child will learn using the modeling method where a teacher using outward communication to prompt thought among the students. The mindset of “I do (teacher prompt). We do (group/small group activity). You do (independent work).” is present throughout subject instruction. Teachers then use small group instruction to divide children based on knowledge level or understanding and modify activities by the level.
In addition to the core curriculum of math, science, language arts, students participate in art, music, and physician education. After school, your child can participate in after-school clubs or receive tutoring support. Each of our elementary school campuses are staffed with a full-time registered nurse, librarian, and counselor. The on-campus Counselor is dedicated to the social and emotional learning of all students. Development is facilitated through character meetings to teach core values and offer continued support within the classroom.
