Gloucester Township School District

Congratulations to over 120 of our finest musicians who earned spots in the Vince Gentless Honors Band and Choir. The concert took place a Glen Landing Middle School on March 25th.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day from GTPS and CWL Middle School!

8th grade students from all three middle schools treated parents and guests with performances of poetry they wrote in class. The event took place at CW Lewis School and was sponsored by the Gloucester Township Educational Foundation.

Please know there is a spam text being sent around the district that appears to be from John Bilodeau.

Please do not respond, this is not from the Superintendent.

This matter is being addressed by our Tech Department.

Enjoy your holidays.

During our recent in-service, our Kindergarten and 1st Grade math teachers came together to reflect on how they help shape each child’s unique math story. Teachers explored the major learning goals at their grade level and discussed how their work connects across grades to support students’ growth. The posters they created celebrate the vital role all of us play in guiding students to become confident, curious mathematicians!
