A Note From Principal Berg...
Hello Cedar Island families,
As we near the finish line on a school year packed full of growth, learning, great times, and experiences our students won’t soon forget, I wanted to reach out and share some reflections on my first year as principal of Cedar Island. There are typically a lot of emotions associated with wrapping up a school year, but personally, I mostly feel a sense of gratitude for the opportunity to be able to call myself a Bobcat and for the trust this community has put in me to guide Cedar Island forward. More specifically…
I am grateful to the students. Every single day they brought joy, curiosity, fun, resilience, and their “Bobcat Best” to the halls and classrooms of Cedar Island. It has truly been a privilege to get to know them and to watch them grow with wide-eyed enthusiasm.
I am grateful to our exceptionally dedicated and talented staff. They work tirelessly to create the safe, inclusive, and engaging environment that our students so deserve. Alongside them, I am brimming with confidence that each of our goals as a school is within reach.
Finally, I am grateful to you, the parents and families of Cedar Island. I have been blown away by the support and partnership from this community. The ways in which you lift up Cedar Island students and staff are too many to list here, but know that you are deeply appreciated.
We will be sharing back-to-school information in late August, but until then, please enjoy the summer months with family and friends doing whatever it is you do to relax, recharge, and make memories.
Take care and go Bobcats!
Alex Berg
Principal

Device Collection Day
Device Collection Day at Cedar Island is Thursday, June 5, 2025!
- During Collection, your student’s school-issued device (iPad or Chromebook), case (for iPads), and charging block & charging cord will be collected and processed as returned.
- Devices will be inspected by district personnel for damage. Any devices needing repair will be sent to the Technology Service Center for further evaluation by the district repair team.
- You will be notified later of any applicable fees for repairs or missing items not returned on Collection Day.
- If your student has any district technology at home (device, charger, hot spot) please return, asap.
- Devices will be stored for the Summer and will be redeployed to next year’s students in the Fall.
Thank you for supporting digital learning, and we look forward to more great learning opportunities next year!
School Supplies For Next Year
We are changing things up a bit! PTO has decided to purchase all school supplies for students and will ask families for a donation to cover the cost. This process will be much cheaper for families and will ensure that all students have access to the same supplies. More information to come!
Open House 2025
Save the date! Our back to school open house will be held on Wednesday, August 27 from 5:00pm to 6:30pm. This is the perfect time to meet your child's teacher, see the classroom, find their locker, etc. We look forward to seeing you there!
