As a participant of the Rescue Frontier program, Rescue USD will provide your student access to the K12 portal and RUSD district adopted curriculum. Teachers in TK-5th grades will combine both to create a robust, well-rounded instructional program in their class. Included with your access, K12 will provide materials including workbooks, manipulatives, etc., delivered to your home, to supplement the curriculum for K-5 students.
Middle School classes utilize RUSD district adopted curriculum for the core content classes and the K12 curriculum for electives. Middle school elective options will include Spanish 1, Spanish 2, Art, Career Explorations, and Physical Education. These courses will be graded as pass/fail and will not be regularly monitored by the teacher. Parent support and monitoring of these classes is required.

What is TK?
Transitional Kindergarten is the first year of a two-year kindergarten that uses a modified kindergarten curriculum that is age and developmentally appropriate. TK showcases a hands-on, project based, step-by-step approach to learning as compared to regular Kindergarten classes. For TK students we parallel the Kindergarten standards, completing them in a more hands-on, developmentally appropriate way. Our TK Curriculum will include: Letters, Sounds, Colors, Sight words, Nursery Rhymes, Numbers, Shapes adn the Embark Curriculum. More Information about Fuel Education's Embark Curriculum
