Welcome -or welcome back -  to École Coquitlam River Elementary for the 2025-2026 school year. If you're new to the CRE community - we're glad you're joining us. You're going to love it here. If you're already a CRE veteran - well...you already know!

École Coquitlam River Elementary is an inviting, engaging school, where we all work hard to ensure students have the best possible learning experiences.

SCHOOL GOALS:

At CRE our goal is to improve student learning by acquiring and developing physical and emotional self-regulation. Please see our Action Plan for Learning (APL) page for more information. This year we are continuing our in-depth focus on improving student confidence in numeracy, as well as self-regulation and emotional intelligence skills development, and continuing our work to embed Indigenous Ways of Knowing into our classroom instruction.

CRE is also a green school, surrounded by our beautiful, natural environment. We promote litter-less lunches and strive to divert all of our organic waste.

Last, CRE is a Nut-free school. To help keep all our children safe please do not send any tree nut or peanuts to school.

I look forward to meeting and getting to know all the families at Coquitlam River. Please feel free to say hello when we see each other outside the school at the start and end of the days. Check the website often as we strive to ensure information families need is regularly updated on the site. Most weeks, you will receive a brief weekly email outlining the week ahead and any important information. When in doubt - please don't hesitate to get in touch!

​Here's to a very good year!
