Today, over 150 4th-grade students from Cedar Rapids Community School District got a hands-on look at the careers of tomorrow at the Junior Achievement of Eastern Iowa Equipment Exploration Fair! 🏗️🔬🚜
From operating real equipment to meeting industry professionals, students explored 15-20 interactive stations where they learned how their classroom lessons connect to real-world careers. 🔍💡
A huge thank you to all the industry volunteers and educators who made this inspiring event possible! 👏👏

Attention Parents & Community members!
If you are attending the College and Career Pathways meeting tonight at Jefferson, with several other activities happening, we want to help direct traffic as smoothly as possible. Attendees for the informational meeting should enter through the activity doors and park in the front parking lots for the easiest access to the doors leading directly to the cafeteria. Those attending the games should continue using the gym doors as usual.
those that don't have students at Jeff aren't going to know where "activity doors", "front", "cafeteria" or "gym doors" are located
I went to Jefferson and have a current student there and these institutions are unclear. I'm assuming you are suggesting we enter the doors by the cafeteria facing 20th street (where the freshman academy wing will be built) and would like us to park in one of the highlighted lots, but the color-coding has no meaning for this post?
For clarification, enter the Jefferson campus from 20th St and park in the lots highlighted on the image above. The activity entrance would be the doors directly underneath our digital sign.
What am I looking at here, Chief

How about we deal with the "elephant in the room"? A "culture of fear"? Lets support our teachers first! Superintendent Dr. Tawana Grover, in an interview with Iowa’s News Now, addressed these concerns, including allegations from teachers about a "culture of fear" within the district and parents' demands for a delay in implementing the program.
CRCSD Alert – No classes for students on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, because of weather conditions.
Can you cancel my job too?
Is there a delay because of snow?
Your website still says two-hour delay.
Thank you. Great call.

🎨🗣️ Empowering our students to shape their future!
At Cedar Rapids Community School District, we believe our students’ voices matter — especially when it comes to designing spaces where they’ll learn and grow. Recently Van Buren Elementary and Hoover Community school students were able to give their ideas and opinions in creating the vision for their new schools.
From creative learning hubs to areas for collaboration and play, our students are sharing their ideas, ensuring their school is a place where they feel inspired, heard, and excited to learn. 🌟
When we design with students at the center, we build more than schools — we build futures.
💬 What’s your dream classroom like?

"It is great to see how well our students respond and sing at our concerts. We have two concerts usually in a night, and after the first one, I come upstairs and take some me time. I turn off my lights, and sometimes I’ll just bust out and cry because of how wonderful the students did," said Mr. Tyler, a music teacher at Maple Grove Elementary.
This is what passion and dedication look like. ❤️ Watch as Mr. Tyler shares the joy of music and the incredible talent of our students in this heartwarming story.
