I also wanted to share an update on the district redistricting effort:
As many of you already know, Cherry Hill is in the process of redistricting the schools, starting with middle. After the Board of Ed meeting last Tuesday, it appears that the sixth grade center option has been taken off the table, leaving the options that make Beck, Carusi and Rosa community schools, each containing 6th, 7th, and 8th grades.
But, while there was a lengthy discussion about middle school redistricting, the answer about kids being allowed to finish where they start middle school still remains a question. The majority of the board publicly supported allowing the kids to finish where they began. However, the district has not yet made clear if this will be adopted. This means that next year's middle school students may be sent to a new school for their 7th or 8th grade year. For our kids, this means that the students at Rosa now or the ones who get into Rosa for next year may have to switch to Beck the following year. The students at Beck would likely stay at Beck.
I encourage all parents who feel strongly about allowing the students of the 2022-2023 school year to finish middle school where they started to sign the petition here.
We also encourage our parents and community members to email the Board of Education, Dr. Meloche and members of the Middle School Redistricting Committee to let them know how you feel. Emails are listed here.
And, as always, the PTA welcomes feedback from our community so that we can advocate for the children of JF Cooper Elementary.
Thank you,
