A MESSAGE FROM:
Rice Elementary School
2024-2025
Rice Elementary is located in Wellington, Colorado. Rice is one of two Poudre School District elementary schools located in the small town of Wellington. Rice is home to approximately 424 students in K-5 and has a site based special education program. Approximately 37% of the K-5 students qualify for free or reduced meal benefits. The student body is primarily Caucasian (72%). Additionally the student body is made up as students that identify as Hispanic (21%), Multi-Race (5%) American Indian/Al…
askan Native (<1%), Hawaiian/Pacific ( <1% %), Black ( <1% %), and Asian (.07%). Class sizes at Rice range from between 20 to 25 students. We have 3 licensed teachers per grade in K-5 grades, 2 full-time interventionists, and another .5 interventionist, .5 gifted and talented teacher, and a .5 ELD teacher. Additionally, we have 3 special education teachers, 4 specials teachers, a full-time school counselor, and full-time school psychologist. Rice has always received a rating of ''Performance'' on the SPF. Overall, in the last 5 years our student performance on state and local assessments has shown some areas of increased student achievement and other areas of decreased student achievement. Our attendance rates are below the target of 95% and negatively affect student achievement and growth. The staff at Rice regularly analyze our educational practices including the use of standards based formative assessments, instructional delivery, use of learning time, and quantity of rigorous learning opportunities. In addition, Rice focuses on developing the whole child. We are a Leader in Me school and through our focus on student leadership, we are purposeful about creating a learning environment that fosters belonging and student ownership of learning. The examination of our progress on the above practices, along with DIBELS 8 Reading, MAPs Reading and Math, and CMAS results, have informed the writing of this UIP. All licensed teachers were part of the initial discussions, followed by collaboration with the school leadership teams and the School Accountability Committee. The final version was approved by staff and the members of SAC prior to submission.
