As an ongoing focus on Cinnaminson High School’s culture, each month we will decide upon one attribute that will be our focus. We will promote this in different ways by giving the students AND staff specific, yet simple, ways to model this behavior.
In the month of February, the focus was PERSEVERANCE.
We will be combining the months of March and April and the focus is COOPERATION.
Cooperation means working together, getting along, and functioning as a team. Cooperating means listening, share, take turns, and compromise. It is important to show appreciation to others, and include everyone.
Here are ways to demonstrate cooperation:
- LISTEN carefully to others and be sure you understand what they are saying.
- SHARE when you have something that others would like to have.
- COMPROMISE when you have a serious conflict.
- SHOW APPRECIATION to people for what they contribute.
- ENCOURAGE PEOPLE to do their best.
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!

In 2026, April brings more than warm weather and our highly anticipated Spring break. Jokes abound on April Fool's Day, a holiday whose origins are not quite clear, but it definitely holds many theories from many cultures. This year, Passover, known as Pesach in Hebrew is one of the most significant Jewish festivals, celebrated for over 3,000 years. Soon after we enter Holy Week, a significant, sacred period in the Christian calendar, marking the final days of Jesus Christ's life leading to his crucifixion and resurrection. April 22 is Earth Day. This year’s theme, Our Planet Our Power, reflects a fundamental truth: environmental progress doesn’t depend on any single administration or election. It’s sustained by daily actions of communities, educators, workers, and families protecting where they live and work. Here is a quick video for Earth day inspiration and a changemakers toolkit for ideas to take action on Earth Day, and every day thereafter. We share this amazing planet; its care is the responsibility of every world citizen.
March closed with an amazing Women's History Month program organized by our Young Women's Affinity Group and sponsored by the Cinnaminson Education Association. April programs lift and celebrate our Diversabilities Affinity Group. Affinity leaders are busy planning a field trip and activity for us to ensure inclusion remains steadfast in our Beloved community at CHS. Equity committee members meet monthly to discuss current initiatives and create spaces to meet with students for their input and feedback. Student affinity groups meet twice monthly during the lunch period. Affinity group membership is growing, and during the affinity student leadership homeroom each Monday students continue to develop their leadership skills while identifying potential Beloved Community initiatives for the entire affinity membership team. May will be here before we know it, and with it comes many more celebrations, including Asian American Pacific Islanders heritage month. As always, the CHS Equity committee welcomes your questions. Kindly direct them to Ms. Bouggess, bouggessm@cinnaminson.com, or Ms. Kim, mauroffk@cinnaminson.com.
Enjoy the break!
Peace and Pirate Pride

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability that can cause significant social, communication, and behavioral challenges. There is often nothing about how people with ASD look that sets them apart from other people, but people with ASD may communicate, interact, behave, and learn in ways that are different from most other people. The learning, thinking, and problem-solving abilities of people with ASD can range from gifted to severely challenged. Some people with ASD need a lot of help in their daily lives; others need less.
A diagnosis of ASD now includes several conditions that used to be diagnosed separately: autistic disorder, pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), and Asperger syndrome. These conditions are now all called autism spectrum disorder.
For more information on autism spectrum disorder, please see the following fact sheet:

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. |

For those driving children to and from school each morning, please ensure that you follow all posted speed limits and drive safely through the surrounding neighborhoods when driving to and from school each day. We all are responsible for ensuring all children arrive at their respective schools safely each morning. |
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. |

ESEA Section 8528 outlines provisions that give military recruiters the same access to secondary school students as recruiters from postsecondary institutions or prospective employers (e.g., college fairs, job fairs) and, when requested, requires LEAs to provide students’ names, addresses, electronic mail addresses, and telephone numbers to military recruiters. Parents who do not wish the district to provide name, address, and email information with military recruiters must notify the school in writing. A sample opt-out letter is available at the following link:

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. |
