While students are engaged in Cumberland@Home, assignments may be completed virtually or via paper and pencil assignments (Pre-K - 2nd Grade) provided by the school. These assignments will be provided prior to the Cumberland@Home day. Students will access Google Classroom the way that they have previously accessed it at school.
