WELCOME to all families who are new to Cumberland Valley School District and Hampden Elementary School.  I encourage you to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have regarding your child's school experience.

* Make attendance job #1.  Let your child know that unless they're sick, they must go to school.  Try to schedule routine doctor appointments after school hours.  When possible, take family vacations during school breaks.

* Show you care.  Let your children know that you are interested in their learning. Talk about their school activities and projects.  Attend as many school functions as you can.  Volunteer in their classrooms if you are able.

* Keep it upbeat.  Try to set a positive example for your children.  If you show a positive attitude about your work, your children may feel better about their own work.
