STEWART, Business Administrator/Board Secretary CHEROKEE HIGH SCHOOL SENECA HIGH SCHOOL January 2020 RE: Transition to the Lenape Regional High School District Dear Parent / Guardian: We look forward to beginning the process of transition to high school. As you may be aware, your child’s education will become the responsibility of the Lenape Regional High School District effective July 1, 2020. To begin this transition, the Lenape Regional staff would like to invite both parents and students to a special education orientation meeting at the high school that your child will be attending. At this meeting, we will present an overview of the entire transition process. Special education staff will discuss program options, Child Study Team staff will discuss case management services, and students may tour the facility. Due to the group format, we will not be able to discuss individual students. However, individual transition meetings will be scheduled in the coming months to discuss your child’s specific needs. If your child attends an out-of-district placement, some of the program information may not be applicable. Your individual transition meeting at the out-of-district school will be more relevant. However, we welcome you to attend this general meeting if you choose. Although we encourage you to attend your home school presentation, if you are unable to do so, please feel free to join us at any of the following meetings: School Day and Date Time Shawnee Wednesday, January 22, 2020 5:15 p.m. (before 8th Grade Parent Night) Lenape Thursday, January 23, 2020 following 8th Grade Parent Night that begins at 6:00 p.m. Seneca Thursday, January 23, 2020 following 8th Grade Parent Night that begins at 6:00 p.m. Cherokee Wednesday, February 5, 2020 6:00 p.m. (before 8th Grade Parent Night/Curriculum Expo) In case of inclement weather requiring school closing, meetings will be rescheduled and new dates will be available at www.lrhsd.org. We hope that you will set aside this night to join us! Sincerely, Patricia Piserchia Director of Special Services TRUTH • HONOR • KNOWLEDGE .

SENECA DISTRICT EVENT Seneca High School Team Visitor
SENECA DISTRICT EVENT HOSTED BY LENAPE REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT & THE IRON DEVILS (FIRST ROBOTICS TEAM #1647) Seneca High School 110 Carranza Road, Tabernacle, New Jersey 08088 March 23 – March 25, 2018 Team Visitor Information Packet No Smoking on Seneca High School Property Seneca H.S. is a smoke and Tobacco-free site Food and/or drink are allowed ONLY in the Seneca High School Cafeteria WELCOME TO THE MAR LENAPE DISTRICT EVENT Greetings from the Lenape Regional High School District (LRHSD) and the FIRST Lenape District Event Planning Committee. Welcome to the home of the Iron Devils Robotics Team and beautiful Tabernacle, New Jersey! Looking for a small town that’s scenic and laidback? Then set your compass to green, and you’ll invariably come to Tabernacle, which topped the list of South Jersey Magazine’s Top 10 Small Towns, a subset of the publication’s Top 25 Towns of South Jersey ranking. A farm- community gem that draws folks far and wide for the delicious produce on farm stands and you-pick farms, Tabernacle is one of the reasons you call New Jersey the Garden State. Strawberries in the spring, blueberries and sweet corn in the summer, they’re all hallmarks of the pastoral Burlington County town situated in the core of the Pinelands. The modern-day township, which encompasses just under 50 square miles on the western edge of the Pine Barrens, sprang from the Village of Tabernacle, named for the log-cabin Tabernacle in the Wilderness Church, established in 1778 by Presbyterian minister John Brainerd. Brainerd was a missionary who sought to convert the indigenous Lenni-Lenape Indians to Christianity.
