 ABOUT OUR SCHOOL
Cedar Lane Elementary offers an exciting learning environment for students in grades 1-5.
At Cedar Lane, the staff implements consistent and developmentally appropriate curriculum and methodologies to meet the needs of all students. Our classroom teachers are skilled at providing differentiated instruction, a process that guarantees all students will be challenged to learn at their own levels - beginning, developing, and expanding. We emphasize positive behavior support and maintain a climate where students and staff feel safe and valued. Technology is an important part of all we do. Television monitors, located in each room, are used to present a morning news program and positive behavioral messages from the principal and other staff members. Teachers use the monitors to present multi-media lessons and for demonstration puposes. Most important of all, computers in the classroom and the computer lab are used for hands-on learning and exploration. Parents and guardians are important partners in the learning process. We have an active PTA and encourage volunteer involvement at all levels in our school.
In addition to our classroom teachers, Cedar Lane has a principal; assistant principal; art, music and physical education teachers; a librarian; reading teacher; technology teacher; counselor; interventionist; speech and language teacher; nurse and psychologist.
We invite you to learn more about our school by exploring this site. Whether you are a current member of the Cedar Lane "family," a prospective homeowner, or an alumni returning for a cyberspace homecoming, Cedar Lane Elementary welcomes you!
