Clusters are smaller communities within The Rice School/La Escuela Rice large school setting. All students will be assigned to a cluster. Each cluster will consist of between 110 students (primary grades) to 150 students (middle school) with 5 academic teachers. Each cluster of teachers is provided a common planning time for conferences with parents as well as team planning. We find this supportive environment facilitates communication between home and school.

Conferences:
Arrangements can be made for parent conferences with teachers, academic teams, counselors, and/or administrators. These meetings must be prearranged and cannot be guaranteed on a drop-in basis. All employees at The Rice School/La Escuala Rice have voice mail and e-mail access. All visitors to the building must report immediately to the main office for a visitor's pass.
