New Assistant Principal - Ms. Pacini left Cumberland over the summer to take a position with NSSEO. Ms. Tina Mazzone has replaced her as our new Assistant Principal for Special Education. Tina has been at Cumberland for the past 8 years in the role of an Educational Life Skills teacher. She knows our building and programs very well and will be a huge support for our students and staff. Mrs. Kristan Krupinski will still be our Student Services Coordinator, and she will be working closely with Ms. Mazzone to assist around the building with our special education program needs.
Student Drop-Off/Pick-Up - Parents, please do not get out of your vehicle if you are dropping-off or picking-up your child unless you are parked in a legal spot. This creates long delays for other parents trying to follow the procedures in the designated lines and is very dangerous for our students. If all of the parking spaces are filled, you can park in the Chippewa pool lot and walk over to Cumberland.
Bus Delays - Due to a nationwide driver shortage, some of our buses have been experiencing significant route delays. First Student bus company has been doing everything possible to rectify this situation. We appreciate your patience and understanding if your child has been picked up or dropped off after the scheduled time.
Summer Workbooks Due Next Friday - At the end of last school year, our students received a summer workbook to help build their skills in reading and math over the summer. Children who complete at least 75% of the book, and turn it into their teacher by next Friday, August 27th, will receive a completion certificate and be recognized in an upcoming newsletter.
