As part of an ongoing effort to focus on Cinnaminson High School’s culture, each month, we highlight one attribute that will be our focus. We encourage students AND staff to spend the entire month focusing on that attribute. We will promote this in different ways by giving the students AND staff specific, yet simple, ways to model this behavior.

For the month of NOVEMBER, the focus is CITIZENSHIP. Citizenship means doing your best to make your home, community, neighborhood, and school better places. A good citizen obeys rules and respects authority. Let us ALL show our CITIZENSHIP by doing just that. Here are some more ways to show your citizenship:

Please help us by encouraging your child(ren) to demonstrate these simple acts each month. We look forward to fostering a culture of Commitment, Honor, and Spirit at CHS!

Epilepsy affects approximately 3.4 million people in the U.S., and 1 out of 26 people will develop Epilepsy during their life. It is vital to promote the diagnosis of this condition in order to alleviate seizures and their impact, improve quality of life, and even prevent death (SUDEP—sudden unexpected death in Epilepsy).

Most seizures last a few seconds or a few minutes and can make a person feel sleepy or confused for a period of time afterward. Some people may also not remember the seizure or what happened immediately before, while others may be very alert following a seizure. This varies from person to person.

What should you do if someone has a seizure?

It can be scary to see someone have a seizure, but there are a few things you can do to keep that person safe.

The person may need medical attention if they have trouble breathing or appear bluish around the mouth after the seizure, have a medical condition like diabetes, have a long seizure, or have multiple seizures. In cases of emergency, always call 9-1-1.

We finished the Unified Soccer season on a high note, celebrating not only our growth as a team but also our incredible seniors: Gabe, Gabby, Jheferson, Beyza, Lauren, Emily, and Lucas. Throughout the season, every player learned the true value of teamwork, acceptance, and supporting one another. Each game and practice was filled with laughter, encouragement, and joy. No matter who you are or what your role was, everyone was an important part of the team. This year, the Unified Soccer team grew with even more amazing teammates, showing just how meaningful Unified Sports truly are. Together, we demonstrated teamwork, inclusion, and friendship on and off the field. We couldn’t be a team without each and every one of our players who make it all possible.

Every day CHS teachers & staff are doing great things for their students. So let's recognize & celebrate them!

Each month the Golden Apple Award is given to a staff member. Please consider recognizing someone who has made an impact in your life or the life of another by emiling your nomination to Mrs. Leetz - leetzj@cinnaminson.com

If your child is absent or late to school, written verification to satisfy the requirements of the attendance policy must be submitted to the Attendance Office within two school days, by 8:00 AM on the third day, if the request of the absence is to be considered excused. This is a particular concern when calculating Winner’s Circle.

Please remember that students are to be dropped off in the lane in front of the school only. Students are not to be dropped off in the parking lot. We want to make sure that students arrive at school as safely and efficiently as possible. Dropping off students in the parking lot increases the interactions between cars and students and delays the main drop-off line as more students need to cross the drop-off lane in the crosswalk.

For the safety of your children, we will be requiring that when a student is released from school on an Early Dismissal for any reason, any person (including the parent) picking up your child must present photo identification. As a reminder, we will only release your child to a parent/guardian or emergency contact. Again, this is for the safety of your children.

Parents who are picking up your child/children after practice/games, please do not park and wait in the lane of traffic in front of the gymnasium. Please park in the parking lot and wait for your child. Parking in the lane of traffic causes safety issues on many levels. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter.

All Young Men Who Are 18 Years Old, Or About To Turn 18: You are legally obligated to register with Selective Service. By registering you add your name to a list of all men in the nation 18-25. The list would be used to identify men for possible military service in case of a national emergency. You must also register with Selective Service to receive Federal Student Aid for college. The law says that all 18-year-old men must register within 30 days of their 18th birthday. You can register with Selective Service in less than 2 minutes via the internet at: www.sss.gov, or you can go to the Post Office and complete a registration form. You can also register online when filling out your FASFA. It’s quick, easy and the law.

If you have not already done so, please consider joining the Cinnaminson Alumni Network. Instructions for registering for the CAN are available here: Cinnaminson Alumni Network.
