Cinnaminson Schools Detail Remote Learning Plans

CINNAMINSON, NJ — The Cinnaminson Public School District provided more information about its remote learning plans on Monday as all Burlington County school districts have been closed to prevent the spread of new coronavirus.

“Any day in which schools are closed and home instruction is provided will count toward the 180-day requirement mandated by statute,” Superintendent of Schools Stephen Cappello said. “All families were surveyed about electronic device availability and internet access. Accommodations are in progress to meet the needs of all families so home instruction can be delivered.”

“All schools have developed a method for daily attendance as well as a platform for students and parents to receive daily updates, assignments, and expectations,” Cappello said.

Parents were directed to each individual our school’s page on the district website for more specific information about their plans for home instruction. According to the district:

• Teachers will maintain communication with their students in an effort to maintain continuity with the curriculum of the course.
• Based on the school and the teacher, modes of communication and delivery of instruction will likely include Google Classroom, Remind, Seesaw, Dojo, etc.
• Students may be asked to complete assignments that will be turned in online and/or submitted when schools reopen.
• Staff members will be available at designated times each day to answer questions. Teachers will communicate with students/parents/guardians about these designated times. Additionally, staff will continue to respond to email.
• Instruction will be differentiated to meet the needs of all of our students (ELL, Special Education/504, at risk, Gifted and Talented [Honors/AP]).
• If any modifications or accommodations cannot be delivered, compensatory services will be provided when schools reopen.
• School counselors will be available to communicate with students as needed via email.

In the event a student experiences any technical difficulties related to logging in, parents should contact parentaccess@cinnaminson.com.

School lunches will be available each day, Cappello said. Orders must be placed by 9:45 a.m. To place an order, click on the Daily Lunch Order link on the main page or on the link above. The district is devising a plan for meal pickup in proximity to residency.
