#OurStoriesCRCSD - Hiawatha
School Year 2018-2019
Hiawatha Elementary was the first CRCSD school to become certified as a level 1 High Reliability School. It's been quite the journey, but rewarding for the school.
For the last few weeks, 3rd graders at Hiawatha have been using an online program called Flip Grid to explain "via captured video" how they understand math concepts. Students share their learning with other classmates and their teacher. #OurStoriesCRCSD

Hiawatha Elementary school has several options for students to preform musically. One is the 5th-grade musical that students eagerly wait to be a part of. Another is the Hiawatha Highlights that not only teach 4th and 5th-graders how to sing and dance but also to become leaders.
