At the Middle and High School Campus, drop off is from 8:05-8:25 and pick up is 1:10-1:25, 2:15-2:25, and 3:20-3:30 depending on how many classes students are taking.
What are the extra curricular activities that are available to my child?
River’s Edge students have many amazing opportunities to be involved in good, quality extracurricular activities.
We offer band through the American Independent Music Association (AIMA), for grades 4th through 12th.
Our elementary campuses offer Enrichment classes weekly, including Art, Music (keyboarding and band with AIMA), and Lego/Robotics through Beyond A Brick. Each class meets right after school for an hour. Check with your campus manager for more information.
Our 6-9th grade students may also participate in a weekly Lego Robotics Club through Beyond A Brick. Students use the LEGO EV3 Mindstorms to build robots while exploring cross-curricular opportunities in STEM (Science, Technology, Education, Math). In addition, they are engaged in engineering designs by building complex systems and using creativity to accomplish challenges. They use software to code, test, and modify sequences of instructions for a variety of life-like robotic behaviors. The “final exam” will be an EV3 Competition at the end of each semester, including competing against area teams in the Battle Bot Competition in the Spring. First Lego League Challenge curriculum will be incorporated in the classroom.
For middle and high students at least 13 years old, we have our own Ultimate Frisbee team. Our team was formed in 2014 and started playing in Division 1 in 2018. The varsity team has earned the following titles:
- 1st place Division 2 tournament 2017
- 1st place Division 2 Deep Freeze tournament 2017
- 1st place in Kentucky Open Tournament in fall of 2018
- 3rd place in the State of TN 2018
- 1st place in Kentucky Open Tournament in fall of 2019
- 1st place Knoxville Youth Ultimate fall season tournament 2019
- 2nd place in the River Campur Classic spring of 2019
- 1st place in the State of TN 2021
We also have a cooperative with Concord Christian School, which allows our students to play any middle school or high school sport on a CCS team.
Each campus may have different clubs and groups, so contact your campus manager to get an updated list of opportunities.
