Activities & Clubs

Staff provide various extracurricular activities over the school year. Past examples include volleyball, running, knitting, and the reuse fashion show. We work with community partners to offer a full range of activities to all students.

Kids on Course

The 2020-2021 school year marked the start of Kids on Course (KOC) with our first graders. Each year, first graders are invited to begin their KOC journey “on a path to post-secondary education and a choice-filled life.” KOC students stay with the program until they graduate from high school.

Tanager Place

Cedar Rapids Community School District partners with Tanager Place to provide comprehensive, holistic mental, emotional, social, and behavioral wellness care to students. This support helps kids learn, grow, and succeed in their school environments. By providing services in the school environment, barriers—such as work, transportation, and time commitments—are eased for families and kids are able to be more successful learners.

School-based services can offer you and your child the following:

Individual, family, and group therapy
Evaluation and assessment of strengths and needs
Parent outreach and collaboration
Evidence based outcomes with proven success
Active link to other Tanager Place programs, community services, etc.

Please contact our counselor for more information.
