Welcome to the 2024-25 School Year!
Our Mission and Commitment
CCRCE is dedicated to providing equitable,
inclusive and high-quality programs and learning
opportunities. We are guided by the NS Department
of Education and Early Childhood Development’s
Inclusive Education Policy, which outlines our
commitment to creating an equitable, culturally and
linguistically responsive education system.
To read the policy, visit Inclusive Education Policy.
Our Education Programming
All of CCRCE’s schools follow the NS Department of
Education’s Curriculum.
As we are continuously working on improving how
we teach and improve the learning environment,
each region develops its own System Improvement
Plan.
In 2023, CCRCE unveiled a new three-year System
Improvement Plan, with a yearly action plan which
drills down for staff within three focus areas; literacy,
mathematics and well-being.
To review the plan, visit our CCRCE website.
Cell Phones
In June 2024, the province released a new cell phone
directives for all NS schools.

Safety

Our front door driveway is reserved ONLY for buses. This helps to keep our students safe by reducing the risk of a student/car accident. Visitors or parents dropping off or picking up students before and after school must use the side parking lot for entering and exiting. The area along the building side of the driveway is a fire regulated NO PARKING zone. We appreciate your understanding and help to keep our students safe.
