Staff Email Communication - The best way to reach anyone on the Cumberland staff is through email. We all check those messages on a regular basis. If you are not getting a response from a staff member, it could be due to a glitch in our email system or that your email has gone to spam. We all try to get back to parents in a timely manner. If you do not receive a response within 24 hours from one of our members, please contact the main office at 847-824-1451 and they will get in touch with that person and leave a direct message to contact you back.
