Positive Behavior Referrals - We are so proud of our Positive Behavior Referral recipients who have received this recognition from a Cumberland staff member. These children have been working so hard and following the Cougar Code of expectations. Click here to view the list for February. Keep up the great work boys and girls, we are so proud of your efforts!!!
Picture Day Next Week - Next Thursday, March 11 we will have school pictures throughout the day for our in-person students and from 4:00-6:00 p.m. for our remote learners. The picture format will be more formal, like the ones we typically take in the fall. These pictures will be used to make up the classroom composites that can be purchased at a later date. Students will be socially distanced and will stand for their picture to make the process touchless. Parents of remote learners should have received a Blackboard notification yesterday explaining the process. Please call the office if you have any questions.
