This is Cumberland County Schools (CCS) with your ‘Need to Know’ Update on November 8, 2026. Here’s what families need to know this week:
November's Be Strong Families Parent Cafe
Families are invited to join our monthly Be Strong Families Parent Cafés where parents and caregivers of all ages can connect, share experiences and talk about what matters most. These guided small-group conversations offer support, reflection and real-life learning from one another. The next Parent Café is Friday, November 13, from 9 until 11 a.m. at the Pre-K Center, located at 1307 Hillsboro Street. Space is limited so call 910-483-7370 to reserve your seat.
REMINDER: FREE BREAKFAST for All Students
Give your child a great start to the school day! Make school breakfast part of their morning routine and encourage them to eat breakfast at school every day. It’s nutritious and FREE for ALL students! Fuel their mind and nourish their future!
REMINDER: Explore School Options at the CCS Choice Fair
CCS invites students and families to discover where their interests could lead at the 2026 Choice Fair on Saturday, November 14, from 9 a.m. to noon at South View High School, located at 4184 Elk Road in Hope Mills. Families can meet school representatives, explore programs for the 2027–28 school year and ask questions about finding the right fit for their children. From languages and the arts to technology and health sciences, CCS offers opportunities to connect students’ interests with their future goals. To learn more, visit the CCS Choice website.
Veterans Day: Schools and Offices Closed
