Many students of Cedarview are bussed to school by OC Transpo, via the two designated routes, the 682 and 683, or by the 70, which stops nearby.[2][3] Certain students who are outside of the walking zone but are not within access of OC Transpo are bussed by a short school bus managed by OSTA.
Cedarview's feeder schools are Barrhaven Public School, Jockvale Public School, Mary Honeywell Public School, Half Moon Bay Public School, and Wazoson Public School. Graduating students have the options to apply to John McCrae Secondary School, Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School, and South Carleton High School. Students also have the opportunity to apply to art programs at Canterbury High School, and students looking for International Baccalaureate programs can apply to Merivale High School.[1]
Cedarview held a world record for Largest Simultaneous Yo-yo, which they broke on June 8, 2006.[4] On June 6, 2006, the record was attempted by the entire staff and students, and the attempt was successful, beating the previous record by a mere six people. The record was featured in the Canadian edition of the Guinness Book of World Records 2008, in the upper right corner of page 7. Students have also participated in the Annual Cedarview Middle School Walkathon and raised over $96,000 toward help for adults with multiple disabilities. Grade 8 teacher Barbara Troutman was awarded the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board's 2007 Community Award for her role in organising the event to raise funds and awareness within the school and community.[5][6][7]
