Hello Parents/Guardians of Cumberland Middle School Students:
Happy spring! We are excited that we have had such a successful year thus far and are looking forward to completing some of our annual tasks in the next few weeks. One of those tasks involves all of our 5th-8th grade students participating in the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) testing on March 28, 29 and 30 and the 5th and 8th grade students participating in the Illinois Science Assessment (ISA) on April 4, 5, and 6. These tests do not define our students, but are a snapshot of learning and instruction for continued improvement and reflection.
Please encourage your child to eat a good breakfast or participate in our breakfast program here at school on these dates. A good night’s sleep will also assist them during these tests. There will be no homework assigned during these testing dates and schedules will be slightly adjusted, as well. Thank you for your continued support of your child and Cumberland Middle School! Together, we make the biggest impact in our children’s futures!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Stacy Keyser, Ed.S.
