Annual G.H.S Athletic Awards Ceremony May 27th, 2020 welcome, class of 2024! 8th grade students and their families from both Gloucester Middle School and Alice Costello School had their nal orientation shared with them virtually on Tuesday night.

Our Guidance staff shared information about interpreting their Freshman schedule and transcripts, course levels, and grade point average. Some of our Seniors presented to them briey about approaches that best served them throughout their high school careers and what they wished they had known prior to entering high school. We look forward to ocially welcoming them to our GHS Lions family in September! GHS Class of 2024 Orientation student belonging pick-up This Sign-Up Genius has been created for all GHS families to make appointments to pick up any belongings their child left at school and drop off any school-issued materials. Appointments are available June 2nd, 3rd, and 4th from 9 a.m to 3 p.m. Up to four families can make appointments in every 20 minute slot. Student belongings will have already been labeled and organized in a central location in our building. Staff members will greet families as they enter the parking lot and direct them to pull up into the horse shoe that leads to the front doors of the school. The greeter will utilize a walkie-talkie to inform staff members inside of the building of when a family arrives. Those staff members will bring the student materials out to the family vehicle similar to meal distribution. A walk-up table will be present in the parking lot for students who have to come up in their own due to their parents working; all social distancing requirements (gloves, mask, and 6 feet distancing, etc.) must be adhered to. We will have labeled bins present outside for families to drop off/return school-issued: Books Calculators Athletic Uniforms Miscellaneous Materials There will be a table set up for Seniors to drop-off their Chromebook, charger, and bag.

It's critical that students give their best effort on these assessments that could potentially impact their 2020-2021 class schedule. Student computers will be locked down and have access to the LinkIt platform only from 8:50 a.m. until 11 a.m. on these days (in the grades listed above). Students will be unable to participate in other content area instruction while computers are locked down even if they nish the benchmark early. Students must turn off their computer and restart it before beginning the LinkIt Benchmark. Please keep in mind that some students may be enrolled in the courses listed above and be in an upper grade. We are only testing 9th and 10th grade students. graduation update We lmed over 100 Seniors this Tuesday through Thursday in our football stadium. The lm will be released on the outstanding Class of 2020’s original graduation date - June 11th - while we wait for social distancing requirements to relax so we can hold a traditional ceremony later this summer. We have decided to cancel the virtual nal "walk throughs" of all Gloucester City and Brooklawn schools. Having done this for years now, I have no doubt that this experience will be much more fullling in person. We will work with all necessary parties to provide our Seniors with the opportunity to physically walk through the schools that they cherish as we get closer to the traditional graduation ceremony. senior signing day To kick off the Memorial Day weekend, we celebrated our 3rd annual “Senior Signing Day” via the video below.

  • Transgender Policy - Frequently Asked Questions
    NEW JERSEY STATE INTERSCHOLASTIC ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION 1161 Route 130 North, P.O. Box 487, Robbinsville, NJ 08691 Phone 609-259-2776 ~ Fax 609-259-3047 Transgender Policy - Frequently Asked Questions Question: What is a transgender student? Answer: NJSIAA defines a “transgender student” as a student whose gender identity differs from the student’s sex assigned at birth. Question: How does a transgender student establish their gender identity? Answer: The student must declare their gender identity. There is no medical test or official document required to establish one’s gender identity. Question: Is a transgender student eligible to play high school sports in New Jersey? Answer: Yes, a transgender student is eligible to play high school sports in New Jersey. Question: What sports is the transgender student eligible to play? Answer: The transgender student is eligible to play sports consistent with either their birth sex or their gender identity, but not both. For example, a transgender male (a student who was born female but identifies as male) may participate in girls’ sports or boys’ sports, but not both. If, for example, a transgender male plays boys’ basketball, he cannot then play girls’ softball. Likewise, a transgender female (a student who was born male but identifies as female) is also able to participate in girls’ sports or boys’ sports, but not both. For example, if a transgender girl plays girls’ field hockey, she cannot then play boys’ basketball. Question: When must the transgender student decide whether they are going to participate as a boy or a girl? Answer: This decision must be made before the transgender student tries out for or practices with a team.
