CINNAMINSON Kristin Melcher will take over as Cinnaminson Middle School principal on July 1.
In her first top role in a school building, Melcher will face perhaps the ultimate educational challenge: understanding and overcoming the academic, social and emotional learning losses created by the COVID situation over the past year.
But to Melcher, Cinnaminson s current assistant principal, the challenge is exciting. She is even used to this sort of thing.
Within the past few years, she has implemented a full day pre-kindergarten program in the West Deptford Township Public Schools and guided Cinnaminson Middle School through almost a year of COVID-era synchronous learning, with some students in school and others at home, without an outbreak.
