Happy New Year from all of us at Rush School! As we step into 2026, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to the parents, guardians, and community members for your unwavering support. Your dedication to our students' growth and success is a cornerstone of what makes our school so special. Thank you for your encouragement, collaboration, and commitment to our shared goals. Here's to a year filled with exciting opportunities, meaningful achievements, and continued connection. Together, we look forward to making 2026 a year to remember!

In Partnership,

Mrs. Mele & Mrs. Abt

We are proud to announce that Mrs. Jennifer Ogozaly has been named the 2025 ERS Teacher of the Year! A dedicated 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Ogozaly’s impact reaches far beyond her classroom walls, touching students, colleagues, and the greater Cinnaminson community.

A proud Cinnaminson graduate herself (CHS Class of 2003), Mrs. Ogozaly’s journey came full circle when she returned to Rush School, where her love of learning first began as a 3rd grade student. Now in her 16th year of teaching, she is known for bringing creativity, joy, and a little “magic” to every lesson. Whether in Literacy, Math, Science, or Social Studies, Mrs. Ogozaly creates a classroom where students feel seen, valued, challenged, and inspired to be their very best.

Mrs. Ogozaly’s Pirate Pride runs deep. She not only teaches in the district that shaped her, but she also chooses to raise her family here, further strengthening her connection to our schools and community. Her commitment to kindness, curiosity, and confidence-building exemplifies everything we hope for in an educator.

Congratulations, Mrs. Ogozaly, on this well-deserved honor. You truly embody the spirit of excellence at Rush School and make learning a magical experience for all! 🏴‍☠️✨

Unnecessary absences from school can adversely affect children's academic progress, and also have a negative impact on their social and emotional growth. The following information is not intended as medical advice, but as guidelines to follow until you can contact your healthcare provider.

If any of these conditions do not improve or seem to be getting worse, or aren't responding to treatment, consult your healthcare provider.

A child with vomiting and/or diarrhea should be kept at home until symptoms have resolved for 24 hours and the child is able to keep down food and liquid.

Your child may attend school with a temperature less than 100.4 degrees. Your child must be fever-free, without fever reducing medication, for 24 hours before returning to school.

A child should be kept home if a headache is severe and does not respond to treatment, and is accompanied by other symptoms such as fever.

A child need not miss school due to an ear infection or a toothache if he/she is under medical treatment, has no other symptoms such as fever, and can complete school work despite the discomfort.

Keep your child home if cold and cough symptoms are associated with fever or swollen glands, or if they do not readily improve. Your child may attend school if there is no fever, he/she is not fatigued and is able to do school work, and if the symptoms are mild and your child can manage behaviors to prevent the spread of germs. If your doctor has prescribed antibiotics, your child must be on the antibiotics for at least 24 hours before returning to school.

Keep your child home from school if your child has a sizable rash over the body or face, and if the rash is oozing or due to a contagious condition.

Keep your child home if the white part of the eye appears red and produces a yellow or green crusty discharge. If your child has been diagnosed with pinkeye (conjunctivitis, a contagious infection of the outer layer of the eye), he/she may attend school after 24 hours of antibiotic eye medication. 

Encourage your children to wash their hands frequently to avoid spreading germs and disease. Please refer to the health protocol guidelines on the nurse's web page. You may contact Nurse Palma at (856) 829-7778 ext 5803 or palmak@cinnaminson.com if you have any questions.
