We look forward to having most of our students attending face-to-face instruction beginning Monday, October 19th. CUCPS is using the Pulsing Model which means that some students will attend school Week A and some will attend Week B. The northern end of Cumberland, route 60, and the Bear Creek Side are Week A, and the Southern end of the county toward Farmville is Week B. If you are unsure, ask your child's teacher. Know that there could still be a few changes as Transportation irons out all of the routes. Breakfast and Lunch will be provided at no cost to our families. We will dismiss school at 1:30 pm so teachers can check in with remote learners, prepare videos for remote learning, and more. Families who selected 100% remote should plan to exchange binders at CCES every two weeks. We will provide specific instructions for those families. Our final Distribution Day will be a little different. Details are coming soon. Parent Pick-up will be Drive-through style. We are fine-tuning those details and will share those too.
Thank you for your help, patience, and understanding as we prepare for instruction in a way that we have never before planned. We are Growing World Changers at CCES and couldn't do it without our families.

The coronavirus pandemic has increased isolation and confusion for young children and their families due to the need for physical distancing and at-home learning. Finding engaging ways to support children’s early development is more important and more challenging than ever.
VPM is proud to offer Circle Time at Home, a program that brings a familiar school routine into the home. Host and educator Ms. Gaby leads engaging and interactive family-centered learning, focused on social emotional, language, cognitive, and physical health areas of development. Aligned with Virginia’s Pre-K and Kindergarten learning standards, this new half-hour program from VPM premieres tomorrow, September 14, and airs Monday-Friday at 10:30 am on VPM PLUS. View a short clip by clicking the image above and read more HERE. Please feel free to pass this on to family, friends, and neighbors who have young children in their lives!
