5Essentials Survey
On behalf of the Illinois State Board of Education, the Illinois 5Essentials Survey will be administered online by UChicago Impact at the University of Chicago. The survey gathers data related to five indicators that can predict important student outcomes, including improved attendance and larger test score gains. These five indicators that affect and predict school success are:
- Effective Leaders
- Collaborative Teachers
- Involved Families
- Supportive Environments
- Ambitious Instruction
Your participation in the parent portion of the survey will help us understand the conditions at Cumberland School and guide improvement. Your identity and survey responses will be kept completely confidential and will never be connected to you or your child. Thank you in advance for your feedback and time.
February 17th Conferences
There are 2 options for these conferences. A teacher may request a conference or you, as the parent, may request a conference. Communication already went home to families from each classroom teacher. If you have any questions, please contact your child's teacher.

Cumberland PBIS Monthly Focus - February
Positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) is an approach schools use to promote school safety and good behavior. This month students are learning about: lending a hand. During social emotional learning time, they will work through class discussions, listen to read alouds from staff, and engage in other activities with their class centered around the monthly focus.
One way you can support this monthly focus at home is to have conversations with your child(ren) about our monthly themes.
Thank you for your continued partnership in education.
Congrats to our Courageous Cougars from January
