Happy Thursday Chews Families!!!! Just a reminder that we are having an FSA meeting tonight at 630pm. Please come join us!!!
Reminder - on gym days and once outdoor recess resumes, please ensure that your children are wearing appropriate footwear. For their safety, "footwear, with the exception of croc-style clog shoes, that are not firmly attached to the foot by straps, laces, or zippers are not to be worn. This includes flip flops and athletic sandals. Croc-style clog shoes are permitted to be worn by students" (District Policy 5511 - Dress and Grooming). Students who are not wearing sneakers or croc-style shoes with a heel strap will not be permitted to participate in gym.
On the first Tuesday of every month, Chews participates in "Positivi-TEE Tuesday." Students and staff are encouraged to wear a shirt with a positive message tomorrow - Tuesday, February 3rd, 2026.
In January, 270 students were present every day and arrived on time! Keep up the great work, Cheetahs!
Tomorrow, Friday 1/30, is Spirit Day at Chews! Please wear your Chews gear, school colors, or cheetah print to show your pride!
As a reminder, Friday, January 16th is an early dismissal day. Grades K-5 will be dismissed at 12:50pm, and Preschool at 1:30. School will be closed on Monday, January 19th, in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Day. We hope to see you at Gloucester Township's annual Day of Service Event!
Shoes of any size or style, both new and gently used, are being collected for one of the service projects taking place at GT's annual Martin Luther King Day of Service. If you have any that your children have outgrown or that others in your household no longer need, they can be dropped off at Chews (or any of our school buildings) on Wednesday or Thursday 1/14 or 1/15. We thank you in advance for your contributions to this project and hope to see you at Monday's Day of Service event!

Tech-Tastic Tips for the Holiday Season
The holiday season sees many young people creating wishlists filled with tech-related gifts like smartphones, tablets, and gaming consoles; however, it's still important to maintain their online safety and digital wellness despite the festive excitement.
Use relaxed holiday downtime to bond with your child over tech activities, understand their online experiences, and balance screen time with tech-free activities.

Both October and November saw 324 Chews Cheetahs who attended every single school day and arrived on time! As we welcome December and the busy holiday season, we appreciate your efforts to avoid taking extra days off around the winter break. Our teachers will be teaching and our students will be learning right up until vacation starts with early dismissal on the 23rd. and the first day back on January 5th.
Every school day matters. When students are healthy and able to attend, it gives them the chance to keep learning, connect with friends, and grow both socially and academically.
Please refer to the school calendar when planning your vacations. Your support makes such a difference in helping children feel connected and prepared!
