Arrival and Dismissal

Cumberland school Procedures and Protocols


Dear Cumberland Families,

I want to share important reminders that we need all our families to follow to ensure a smooth and safe arrival and dismissal. Our staff supervisors are present to assist when necessary and guide students and families.

If you would like to walk your student to the gate in the morning or meet them at dismissal, you must park your vehicle in a parking spot. Also we ask that you please not bring your dogs on school property during school day hours, including arrival and dismissal. The only exception would be identified service dogs. This is due to a Des Plaines Ordinance that pertains to all schools in the community.

If you have any questions please contact the Main Office.

Thank you,

Marc Infante, Principal

Costantina Mazzone, Assistant Principal

Arrival Time (8:45am-9am)

  • Parents must drop off their child at the main office if they arrive after 9am and sign them in by entering the main vestibule. Sign in sheet is on the table.

 

Dismissal (3:15pm on Mondays & 3:30pm other days)

  • Parents remain in your vehicles as you come to pick up your student(s).
  • The first lane (closest to the curb) is for cars picking up students, once the car in front of you moves forward please follow.
  • The second lane is for cars driving through or pulling away after they have picked-up their student(s)
  • Students will exit the building and be escorted to the Car Pick Up Zone.
  • If a parent walks to Cumberland to pick up their student, they may meet them in the Student Waiting Area or by the playground.
  • Parents may choose to look for a parking spot in the parking lot to park, but you can not park in the pick-up or drive through lanes.
  • Please contact the main office if your child's dismissal routine will be different for the day, no later than 3pm.

 

  • Every Monday, school dismisses at 3:15pm for all grades.
  • Tuesday - Friday school dismisses at 3:30pm for all grades.
