         Principal’s Welcome
Welcome to North Cedar Intermediate. We are a rural school community of approximately 240 people. There are about 220 students in grades 4 through 7 with about 20 staff to support their learning. Our 3 central school goals are aimed at increasing our student performance in Reading, Writing and Mathematics. We have been making steady gains in these areas over the last 4 years and we intend to continue to do so. Also, our school is a very active one with enhanced programs in seasonal sports, music, fine arts, technology, fitness, student leadership, family life and in our special education learning center.
        
        Our Fall Sports are grade 4-7 boys and girls  cross    country, grade 6/7 girl’s soccer, and grade 6/7 boy’s  football.    Our Winter Sports are grade 6/7 boy’s and girl’s  volleyball,   and grade 6/7 girl’s and boy’s basketball. Our Spring Sport is  grade 4-7 boys and girl’s track and field. Our teams do very well and  include many students at the grade 6 and 7 level. Our Music Program offers  choral, recorder, ukulele for grade 4/5 and a full range of band instruments  for grade 6/7 – drums and guitar are by request only. Our fine arts  program changes from year to year but usually involves exploring art through  many mediums and drama through plays and/or musicals. Technology offerings  take the form of computer classes in our renovated lab of 30 computers with  internet service. There are also stations in each class room (1), our library  (2) and learning center (3). Fitness/Announcements are offered to the whole  school every morning in the gym between 8:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and this is run by our senior students with the principal. At present student leadership  takes the form of students organizing and running: fitness, announcements,   event support ie. Terry Fox Run, first aide, cross walk duty, play activities   for grade 4/5 at lunch, and our year book. Our family life program deals  with human growth and sexuality issues grades 4-7 and is offered by a qualified  nurse from the BC Health Ministry. This very popular program is entirely paid for by our PAC. Finally, our special education program is very wide ranging and thorough, involving academic support for needy students in all areas.
        
In the morning from 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m., at recess from 10:20 a.m. to 10:35 a.m. and at lunch from 12:00 p.m. to 12:40 p.m. our school is open for students to use. Our hallways, lockers, computer lab, library, outside fields and gym are places for students to use at these times.
        
We feel that we have an excellent educational program to offer your children and a super staff to deliver it. Our belief is that with students, parents, staff and community working closely and positively together over the entire school year, our students can achieve to the best of their ability in a safe and caring environment.
