Time to start collecting pairs of socks to help local families! Winning class gets an ice cream party to celebrate!

A fun week where students and staff get to express themselves and show how important it is to take care of ourselves, each other, and Rush School!

All Cinnaminson Township Public Schools will continue serving breakfast and lunch this year. Students receiving Free/Reduced Lunch will be eligible for free breakfast. A menu is posted on our district website, and linked below. Breakfast will be served daily beginning at 8:25am when students arrive, and does not need to be ordered ahead of time. Students who wish to purchase breakfast should enter through their assigned grade level entrance, and proceed directly to the cafeteria for their meal before reporting to homeroom where they will eat. Bus duty teachers will help direct students during our opening days, and a staff member will be stationed in the cafeteria to provide supervision and assistance as needed with the check out process.

The district will continue using the LunchTime Payment Portal this school year for parents to deposit money to students’ accounts. The LunchTime Portal also gives you the opportunity to track purchases, create reminders and set up automatic payments. Below is a guide to setting up your student’s account. If you do not want to pay online and would like to continue sending in cash or check with your student, you are still able to create a username and password to track your students’ purchases and see how much money is on the account.

If you would like detailed information, use the “Parent Guide to School Payment Portal”. This document will assist new users with setting up their School Payment Portal. Any questions or concerns with a student’s account should be directed to Lisa Friedrich, Food Service Director.

To make payments to lunch accounts:

Our #1 priority at Rush School is to ensure student safety. In order to do s o, there are procedures in place. As a partner in your child's education, we ask that you please abide by those procedures, as follows:

🕣 Students MUST NOT be dropped off to school before 8:25AM. Students need supervision and our staff is unable to do so before this time. Before 8:25AM, students will not be permitted in the building. If you are in need of before-school care, please contact the SAC program at 856-829-7600, x2141.

🚙 If you are driving your child to and from school, you will pull into the driveway and turn immediately right into the staff parking lot. Loop around the back of the parking lot and staff will be posted to receive your child/ren on the walkway at the end of the lot. Please do not let your child out of the car until a staff member is present. Also, please do not pass the vehicle in front of you on the left while in the staff parking lot.

⌛ If you would like to drop your child/ren off in front of the building, you must wait until all Rush School buses have left the premises.

📣 Students who are walkers will be called to dismiss after all of the buses have been called. Students will walk to the intersection of Buttonwood and Wynwood. At the end of the day, no cars will be allowed onto the property to pick up students until all buses have left the premises.

🚙 If you are dropping your student off at the front of the building, please follow the protocol below:

As always, use caution at all times, and please drive slowly when entering and leaving the school grounds. Your cooperation in assisting us in the safety of the students is appreciated. Our crossing guards are employed by the Cinnaminson Police Department. They are trained to keep our students safe, and follow protocol set forth by the CPD and Rush School Administration. We thank you for treating them with respect and understanding!

For the safety of our students, any time a student will not be using his or her regular means of transportation home or to SAC, a written note or an email must be sent in to the child’s teacher and the office staff at ersmainoffice@cinnaminson.com that day. Any change in the normal dismissal for a child must be in an email or writing so that the teacher/office has confirmation of these plans. Please mention in the email if there is a change in dismissal for an after school club or intramural.

If you need to pick up your child early, and it is after 1:00PM, please call the main office. We cannot guarantee a teacher will see an email in the afternoon when they are teaching. Also, students cannot be called out of class for any dismissal changes once the afternoon announcements begin at 3:00 P.M. Therefore, if you want to have your child called for an early dismissal, please send an email or written note that morning and come to the office before 2:50 PM on a regular school day or 12:40 PM on a single session day. To be credited with a full day of attendance, a student must be in school for a minimum of four hours. (Cinnaminson School Board Policy #5230)

In order to pick up your child for early dismissal, you must sign the student out in the front vestibule. You will need your driver’s license or a valid legal identification in order to do so. At no time are you to take your child out of a line or of the bus without first signing him or her out.

Please note that the Transportation Department will not transport students on different buses unless there is an emergency situation. If an emergency situation occurs, parents need to contact the Transportation Department (856-829-8812) to request a change in their child’s transportation.

The Cinnaminson Elementary Home & School Association (CEHASA) is dedicated to enhancing the environment in our schools. Every parent/guardian is a member of the association.
