Good Morning CMS! As many of you are aware, we will be returning to all remote learning beginning today, January 13th. Our staff has been hard at work to ensure that instruction continues. Attendance will remain based on task completion, participation, and regular check-ins with teachers. The class schedule will also remain the same for live instructional times. The expectation is that virtual students who were virtual prior to the call last night, and our current in-person A week students who have Internet access, are expected to attend live lessons on A weeks. In-person B week students who have Internet access, are expected to attend live lessons on B weeks during their normal scheduled class times. The expectation moving forward is to have live lessons each week for the designated A and B weeks. We will revert back to the hybrid schedule and expectations when students come back into the building. For those students who do not have the Internet, we will send weekly packets. Remote students who are currently receiving remote packets, your packet will be ready to pick up this Friday, January 15th. Students that do not have the Internet and have been attending in-person instruction, your packet will be ready to pick up on Wednesday, January 20th. After January 20th, the weekly packets for all remote students without the Internet, will be ready for all students to pick up on Monday, January 25th. Teacher office hours will be from 2:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. daily. We know that there are many questions about how the year will continue. We are here to assist you, so please do not hesitate to reach out. We look forward to moving back to in-person instruction soon! As always, please remember to be respectful, responsible, and purposeful. We love you, CMS!
Due to the return to Virtual Learning for Cumberland County Public Schools, all athletic practices, games and events will be put on pause until further notice. All games for the remainder of this week will be postponed. If and when a reschedule date is made we will make an announcement. We appreciate all the support and understanding from our Duke Nation parents and fans. If you have any additional questions regarding athletics please contact the Athletic Director, Coach Nowak, at 804-492-4212 extension 4123 or by email at jnowak@cucps.k12.va.us. Thank you and we look forward to having our students and athletes back in the classrooms and on the court/field.
CuCPS will be returning to fully remote learning beginning tomorrow, January 13, 2021, for the remainder of the week. We were just informed that a member of our school nutrition team at the middle/high complex tested positive for COVID-19. This may also affect our transportation staff. The school division has begun contact tracing to determine the extent of possible exposure. You will receive a call from school staff if it is determined that someone in your family was a direct contact. Families will be updated as soon as more information is available and if the need to continue with remote learning into next week is necessary. Athletic activities are temporarily suspended as well.
As always, thank you for your support of Cumberland County Public Schools.
