Today, September 4th Cumberland High School participated in an active shooter drill with local law enforcement. The students and staff did an outstanding job with the drill. Thank you to local law enforcement for their help with this drill.

Parents please be aware of a mistake in the high school handbooks under attendance on page 8 in section D. Section D should read:
Students with absences in excess of 6 who do not bring a doctor's or court excuse into the office on the day they return to school will be given an unexcused absence. This excuse needs to be brought in to the office between 8:00 and 8:15 a.m. on the morning they return. The excuse must be turned in to the office within 10 days following the absence date.
All students will be informed of this mistake during their first hour classes on Thursday, August 15th. Should you have any questions please contact the high school office.

Tonight, August 14th Cumberland High School will be hosting a senior orientation in the cafe starting at 6:00.
