Cedarview has a dynamic, energetic staff who are committed to providing quality educational experiences to all students. We present our students with a range of opportunities to extend their interests, talents, skills and leadership qualities.

Our System Initiative for this year is literacy. We have expanded our library collection, improved accessibility to students and increased community involvement. By incorporating professional development of staff and sharing of best practices pertaining to the teaching of reading and writing we will develop student skills in these areas. The school television broadcast studio will feature literary achievement and engage children in learning. A new math programme is being implemented at all three grade levels. We will focus on developing our students' proficiency in communicating mathematical ideas with a particular emphasis on mathematical investigations using manipulatives. Emphasis will be placed on further developing students' problem solving and critical thinking skills. We believe that this will contribute to our students' success. Our third school improvement goal relates to school climate and culture. We will continue to build a professional learning community through collaborative teamwork, reflection, curriculum development and addressing the needs of students at risk.
