Hello 4th & 5th Grade Parents,

If your child participates in Band, Orchestra or Chorus, please see this message regarding the Spring Concert(s) ahead!

Sincerely,

Christopher Miller

In New Jersey, Take Your Child to Work Day is an excused absence for students who wish to go with their parents/guardians to visit their workplace and learn about their careers and responsibilities. If your child is participating, please let your child's teacher and the main office know by April 23rd, so we can record the excused absence in our Genesis system.

The front parking lot and side streets are very busy at arrival and dismissal. In order to ensure our students' safety, please do the following.

• Wait to drop students off at the sidewalk during arrival. Many students are parking and walking across the parking lot. If you must park and walk over, please use the cross walk by the cones.
• Follow the parking signs on neighborhood streets. Parking on the wonrg side of the street can make it difficult for students to cross safely.
• The parking lot is closed at dismissal. Please do not move cars during dismissal until the cones are removed at the end of the driveway.

Cherry Hill Public Schools is committed to the safety and security of all students. This includes ensuring that students and families have available resources and supports to access education. Considering the recent executive orders, CHPS and the New Jersey Department of Education have collected many resources to support our immigrant families. If you would like me to share these resources with you, please feel free to reach out at amccartney@chclc.org.

Sincerely,

Alison McCartney
