Making a Difference, One Student at a Time 🧡
We love receiving notes like this from our CRCSD families! Today, we are celebrating Shannon McShane at Grant Elementary for the incredible way she supports her students.
From providing words of encouragement on the "hard days" to helping her students build lasting confidence through praise and accountability, Ms. McShane truly goes above and beyond. As one family put it: "We are so blessed to have you… we hope you know what a difference you make and what an awesome human you are!"
Thank you, Shannon, for your heart, your love, and your dedication to our learners!

And just like that… they’re alumni! 🎓💨
We caught up with some of our seniors just before the big moment to hear their names, their future plans, and their final thoughts on high school. The Class of 2026 has officially left the building, and we couldn’t be prouder of the legacy they’ve left behind!
Once a student, always a part of our community. Congratulations, Class of 2026! ❤️🎉

2026 CRCSD Graduation Security & Venue Guidelines
It’s almost time to celebrate the Class of 2026! To ensure our graduates receive the safe, memorable, and joyful celebration they deserve, CRCSD is partnering with the Cedar Rapids Police Department for our upcoming ceremonies at the Alliant Energy Powerhouse.
To keep the focus strictly on our students’ incredible milestones, attendees will see an increased security and law enforcement presence. Please review the following guidelines before you arrive:
🦺Safety & Etiquette Protocols
Keep Traffic Moving: To ensure safety and smooth traffic flow, loitering inside the arena, lobby, parking ramps, or directly outside the venue after the ceremony is strictly prohibited.
Arena Bag Policy: Backpacks, large bags/purses, suitcases, and boxes are prohibited. We prefer guests use clear bags smaller than 12" x 12" x 6" OR small wristlets/clutches smaller than 5" x 8". Diaper bags and medical bags are allowed but are subject to search.
Compliance: CRCSD reserves the right to prohibit any item deemed a safety risk. Guests who do not follow security directives will be escorted from the event.
🚫Prohibited Items
The following items are strictly prohibited and will be confiscated at the door:
No noisemakers (air horns, cowbells, whistles, etc.)
No celebratory items (balloons, beach balls, confetti, signs, or banners)
No outside food or drinks (including coolers, cans, and flasks)
No weapons or look-alike weapons of any kind
No smoking, vaping, alcohol, or controlled substances (the venue is entirely smoke-free)
No drones, laser pointers, or pets (certified service animals are allowed)
The best celebrations are the ones everyone remembers for the right reasons. Thank you for your partnership in keeping this milestone safe, respectful, and positive for every single graduate! 🎓

Inspiring the Next Generation of Educators 🍎
We are thrilled to recognize Stephanie Steele from Hoover Elementary! Stephanie’s impact goes far beyond her classroom walls. For those who have worked alongside her, she is a masterclass in communication, student advocacy, and cultural relatability.
From clearly defining student goals to providing the insight needed to make every "day, hour, and minute" better, Stephanie’s leadership is the reason many feel inspired to grow their careers within the CRCSD.
Thank you, Stephanie, for your dedication to your students and for being a leader who makes everyone around you better! 🌟
