You Are Important
Who is that Cushing fifth grader? We are wishing the Cushing Class of 2023 the best of luck as they leave us for Gates Middle School! We are looking forward to celebrating them on June 15th at Fifth Grade Recognition!
Mrs. Coughlin’s second graders recently hosted our kindergarten classrooms for an exciting afternoon of “Reader’s Theater!” Two plays were performed: “When the Rain Falls” and “Under the Snow.” The performance was spectacular, and the audience was captivated! Thank you to Mrs. Coughlin’s second graders!

Thank you for your support and consideration, and thank you to our PTO, our partners in education for organizing this fundraiser for Cushing!
Thank you to Mrs. Monaco’s Kindergarten students, who authored and shared their book with me! The characters: dragons! The plot: playing baseball! The setting: outdoor recess! Incredible story writing, kindergarteners!
School Supply Kits

To order, please use the following link: Back to School Supply Kits
Electronic Device Use Policy
Many students are bringing electronic devices to school, such as I-Watches and/or I-Phones. Use of these devices during school hours is strongly discouraged: texting and/or calling with parents becomes disruptive to the learning environment. These devices should be kept in backpacks for use during non-school hours. Thank you for your help with this!
