Final Student Materials Pick-Up - Our final Student Materials Pick-Up will be next Thursday, May 27 from 4:00-6:00 p.m. at Door #3. Please also return any textbooks, library books, or materials the teachers are requesting.
Summer Workbooks - Each student will be receiving a summer workbook that will support math and reading skill building at their current grade level. Please ensure that your child completes at least 75% of this workbook before he/she returns to school in August. Soon after school starts again in August, students who complete at least 75% of their workbook, will be recognized by their teacher and principal, and receive a certificate of completion.
Student Device Return - All students in Kindergarten - 7th grade will keep their laptop/iPad over the summer if they are remaining in a D62 school for next year. This also includes hotspots that have been distributed to families. All of our students will be receiving a new iPad next year, stay tuned for a device swap date in the fall. Any student (in-person or remote) not returning to the district in the fall must return their laptop/iPad and hotspot (if applicable) to the main office on May 28th, the last day of school.
We Need Your Help! - The Cumberland PTO is looking for parent volunteers to serve on various committees to organize events for next school year. This is a great way to get involved with the school and meet other parents. No experience is necessary, and the time commitment is only a few hours a month. Parents, please sign up for a committee at this link. If you have any questions, email a board member at [email protected] or call Nilu Patel at 312-316-1906. We will be choosing random names from the committee members that sign up by June 1 for 4 free Disney World One-Day Park Hopper tickets (expiring November 2021). We have 16 tickets to distribute to 4 lucky families!
