Today (Friday, June 3) is the last day of school!  Students in 1st - 5th will attend for a full day and will have an early dismissal at 3:15.  General education kindergarten students will attend during their regular time, however, the PM students will dismiss at 3:15.  The Cumberland staff is wishing your family a wonderful summer, we look forward to seeing you in the fall!

Heartfelt Video - I would like to share an amazing video, created by Aurelia Lawson in 5th grade, that certainly encapsulates our belief about children at Cumberland.  Click here to view the video, great job Aurelia.  5th graders, we wish you the very best in middle school; we will miss you very much!!!

New D62 Policy Changes - Please be aware that beginning next year, the following District 62 policy changes will go into effect:
  • Food At School - Teachers are prohibited from using food as an incentive or reward for students at school and during school day hours.  Additionally, students are prohibited from bringing food treats to school for birthday celebrations or any other celebrations during school day hours.  In lieu of food treats, students may bring non-edible treats such as stickers, pencils, erasers, or books.  If you have any questions about what non-edible treats students may bring to school, please consult with your student's classroom teacher.
  • Student Dress Code - Students are expected to wear opaque clothing that covers them from shoulder to mid-thigh.  Hats, caps, bandanas and head coverings (with the exception of those worn for religious, cultural and/or medical reasons) are not allowed to be worn inside the school building.

Parent Info Night & Supply Drop-Off - Next year we will be combining our Parent Information Night with the School Supply Drop-Off and having the event the week before school begins.  Please mark your calendar for Thursday, August 18.  The School Supply Drop-Off will take place from 4:00-5:00 p.m., and the Parent Info Night Session will follow at 5:00 and 5:30.  Pizza for your family will be provided following the classroom sessions.  Click here to view the details.  These flyers are also available in Spanish and Polish.

Box Top Winners - Congratulations to Mrs. Gierszewicz's kindergartners for for bringing in the highest ratio of Box Tops for the 3rd trimester.  Miss Bushman's class came in second place.  We want to thank all of our families that contributed to this program.  Because of your help, the PTO raises a great deal of money for our school through this program; so please continue collecting Box Tops over the summer.
