Congratulations to our Varsity Cheerleading Squad who placed fifth in the country (out of 113 small varsity, D1 teams) at the National competition in Florida last weekend.

We're #CVproud of you!

Cumberland Valley's Indoor Guard and Percussion teams have started their competitive season. This past weekend they competed at the OX Invitational at New Oxford High School. The Varsity Guard finished first for the second competition in a row with their powerful show, “On Wednesdays We Wear Black."

The Indoor Percussion show “Category 5” placed 2nd this week after winning their first competition a few weeks earlier.

Our Junior Varsity Guard placed third in their division this week with “The Enchanted Garden.”

All three programs compete in the KIDA circuit. The Varsity guard also competes in the Winter Guard International circuit.

Students and staff across the district celebrated Valentine's Day with lots of kindness activities. Pictured above are some of our little Eagles at Shaull and Silver Spring Elementary School. Photos courtesy Jenna Lehman, Priscilla Sherman, Abby Beecher, Laura Whetstone, and Julie Hussey.

District administration has been working over the past year to identify ways to return our eastern elementary schools to an earlier start time. With the identification of an additional transportation service and new drivers, we believe we are able to move Hampden, Shaull, Sporting Hill, and Winding Creek Elementary schools back to a 9:15 a.m. start time, with an end time of 3:55 p.m., beginning next school year.

Please click the Quick Access link below to view the anticipated 2023-24 instructional day schedule by building for each school across the district. (NOTE: Hours in which the building is physically open and students are permitted to enter for the start of the day vary by building.)
