Family survey in your inbox
Our district values feedback! Families received a survey to tell us about their experience with Cedar Rapids Community School District. To ensure we continue to provide high quality, rigorous learning experiences that meet the needs of our learners and prepare them for college and career, we need our families’ feedback.
The survey deadline is Friday, October 8.
Social Media
Parents and Guardians,
We are aware of current social media postings encouraging students to engage in unwanted touching of staff members (hitting them on their backside). We want to remind you that any form of unwanted touching or assault is strictly prohibited, violates the District policies and procedures, and may be against the law. Students found to have engaged in or encouraged this type of conduct will be subject to discipline up to and including suspension or expulsion. This conduct may also violate good conduct rules and expectations for athletics and other extracurricular activities.
Please have conversations with your child about these social media challenges and the consequences that may come from such actions. We appreciate your support and partnership.
Cedar Rapids Community School District
We earned $864.21 from HyVee receipts for last year!!!

We are in need of new (preferably Crayola) 24 packs of crayons. Each student needs to have their own box of crayons to use in the Art Room while at JSA

Dismissal Procedures
- Walkers are picked up on Park Ave. Parents/Guardians need to use the crosswalk to come pick up their children if they park somewhere. There is no parking on Park Ave on the side by our building.
- Car Riders are picked up at the front doors on 18th St. Students are not be allowed to walk to a car on Park Ave or cross over to the parking lot side of 18th St. Drivers should get in the pick up line and their student will be called to go to the front of the building with car riders
- Parents/Guardians- please call the school BEFORE 3PM if the regular pick up routine will be different
Daily Healthy Snacks at School
The USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) provides students within our elementary school a variety of free fresh fruit and vegetables as healthy snacks each week. The goal is to increase children’s consumption of fresh produce as they continue to be introduced to new and different types through nutrition education and tasting opportunities.
Be sure to ask your child what fruits or vegetables they have been trying in their classroom, what have they tried, any they were surprised they liked, or interesting facts they have learned about related to the food items they taste tested.
