Cumberland Newsletter

Annually, since 2013, District 62 is required to provide information to our students on age-appropriate sexual abuse and assault awareness and prevention consistent with Erin’s Law. Erin’s Law was named in honor of Erin Merryn, a brave young woman who has crossed the country advocating for laws that will increase awareness of sexual abuse against children. We note this is not a new requirement and has been in place in the state of Illinois for several years.

If you have any questions or would like additional information on the Erin’s Law presentations, please contact your school’s administrator. If you would like your child to opt out of these lessons taking place the week of December 9th, please call or email your building principal by December 6th. Visit http://www.erinslawillinois.org to explore further information on Erin’s Law.

• Winter MAP Testing for students in grades 3-5 will begin December 4 - December 13.
• Classroom teachers will notify students prior to their testing dates for the Math and Reading Assessments.

We are so excited to have everyone involved in selecting this years Walk A Thon Theme! The students worked really hard to come up with themes and now it is your turn to narrow it down to just 3! The Cumberland Walk A Thon will take place in May 2025.

We know it is going to be a hard decision because there are so many great ideas.

The top 3 will then be sent to the school for the students to vote on and the top 1 will be the theme all prizes will be centered around. Please click here to take the survey or below.

With the Winter Weather, please be sure to send your student(s) with appropriate clothing for the chilly weather. Students will be outside for morning arrival and recess when possible.

Please try and label student jackets on the inside with their names to help with the Lost & Found.

• Families must have their Infinite Campus Parent Portal setup to view the report card for Trimester 1.
• Please reach out to the Cumberland Main Office if you have issues with access to your parent account.
• More information can be found here.

There is no cost to participate in the workshop which is open to all District 62 families.

Courses will be held virtually once again from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on November 6, November 13, November 20, December 4, December 11 and December 18.

To sign up, or for more information, please contact Peter Martin: (847) 824-1532, or martinpe@d62.org.

We expect all families to send an extra set of clothes to keep in your student's locker to have in case of accidents (inclement weather, lunch spills, etc.).

Just a friendly reminder that if families want their student(s) to play in the snow during recess they will need to come to school with the following clothing items:

• Jacket
• Snow Pants
• Gloves
• Boots
• Winter hat or hood

• If your students misplace any items please encourage them to check the Cumberland Lost & Found either at the beginning or end of the school day.
