Rex Academy Adds Miami R-1 School District as a Recipient
of Its Title 1 Grant For Computer Science Curriculum
The Computer Science provider will also launch additional CS (Computer Science) curriculum during the Fall 2021 season.
Rex Academy, a leading provider of Computer Science curriculum for Grades K thru 12, has awarded a one-year grant to Miami-R1 in Miami, Missouri. Rex Academy is working for equity in Computer Science education. As a component of Rex Academy’s focus to provide academic support and encouragement for Computer Science in Title 1 schools, this grant will allow a Miami-R1 classroom to use a Computer Science curriculum of their choice at no charge. Included in the grant is the implementation of Rex Academy’s unique Technology Learning Platform (TLP) and additional teacher training.
Miami’s forward-thinking leaders and staff. are looking for innovative ways to bring to their district enhanced curriculum with a vision to prepare their students for the fast-paced digital world. Thus, preparing them for the future.
We are excited to announce that Miami-R1 has selected Scratch and Mobile App Development as their two semester-long courses. These courses are web-enabled project-based learning experiences featuring animations, in-depth videos, and hands-on projects to engage students’ creativity through S.T.E.A.M. and foster an understanding of computer science.
Rex Academy’s curriculum is aligned to TEKS, Common Core, CSTA (Computer Science Teachers Association), and other state and association standards. Rex Academy’s goal is to make Computer Science available to every student across the United States. To achieve this goal, they have built their curriculum so that instructors do not need a background in computer science to teach Rex Academy courses. They combine this approach with their TLP, which can track student progress through data analysis.

Students in grades preschool through fourth grade enjoyed an Easter filled morning! They completed an Easter egg hunt, decorated Easter egg shaped sugar cookies, made egg parachutes, and colored some Easter pictures! Twenty students found golden eggs and two special students won a kite! Thank you Miami PTO, Elizabeth Thompson, and Miami teachers and staff for making this event a success!
National Read-In Day
The students at Miami R-1 celebrated National Read-In Day a little early during our Read Across America Week festivities!
All students, preschool-8th grade, joined together in the gym and read!
Some chose to read on their own while others had a partner or small group.
All students seemed to enjoy the event and are excited to do it again in the future!

Some wonderful things have been happening and we are so excited to share with you!
Mrs. Southard, Mrs. Wright, Mr. Butler, and Mrs. Morrow applied for and received the Learning Blade grant.
Our school will receive a free 3-D Printer!
Mrs. Hisle has won the HESS Grant for the second year in a row which allowed our students to study and learn with dump trucks last year!
This year they will be receiving 12 First Responder type vehicles for the classroom.
She plans to include Mrs. Enyart’s class in this since we were quarantined last year in March and didn’t get to use the grant materials.
Finally, Mrs. Enyart and Miss Malan have Pets in the Classroom!
They have brought small pets to our school and the children are learning about axolotls and guinea pigs!
Congrats to all of these Grant Winners!!!

The middle school students have gone through the process of being educated about the election process! Students had the opportunity to start this journey by filling out an application and getting 2 teacher references, students then had the opportunity to give campaign speeches and decorated our hallways with campaign posters and flyers! We held a school wide election and the students picked their 2020-2021 Student Council members!

It is with a very heavy heart that the Miami School Board and I announce that we will be putting a “pause” on our building project for now.
The financial uncertainty surrounding us right now with the Covid-19 outbreak and our struggling economy has caused us to step back
and wait for more positive and definitive information!
We will not give up our dream of having new classrooms and a gym that can house our students and parents,
instead we will wait and begin again when it is the right time.
The Board Members and I are available at any time to answer your questions about our “Project Pause”
and hope that you will support us again when the time is right!
