CBSD has launched a new Volunteer Tracking System through RAPTOR. We are encouraging everyone to open up an account as soon as possible. If you have a current account with App Garden you can download all your clearance documents from that account and upload them into RAPTOR.
- Click Here to create your RAPTOR Account
- Clearance retrieval from App Garden/Volunteer Tracker: Please Click Here for instructions on how to retrieve your current clearances. (This must be done by May 16th)
Please make sure you have ALL the clearance documents ready to be uploaded when creating your RAPTOR account.
**Effective May 16th, we will no longer be able to verify active clearances for parents. Meaning, you will not be able to chaperone a field trip or help with the end of the year party if you do not have your clearances on file with RAPTOR.
Please call the Gayman front office if you have any questions.
Did you know that 20 Years ago Roxy Therapy Dogs started right here at Gayman Elementary School? The very first therapy dog’s name was Roxy and the organization was named after her. To help us celebrate, please consider buying a bracelet for $5.
All donations go directly to the Roxy Therapy Dog program. Order forms due by Wednesday, May 14th.
Now that the warm weather is here, we want to remind families that students should come to school in a comfortable manner that allows them to be authentically who they are, while also complying with equitable dress code policies. If your child chooses their own clothes to wear, please remind them that some outfits are not appropriate for school.
The following are guidelines for apparel for all students. If you have any questions, please contact the school:
- Footwear should be comfortable and safe for indoor and outdoor school surfaces. Crocs, flip-flops, beach or loose footwear are not appropriate for school and may be dangerous on our playground.
- The length of shorts or skirts is to be appropriate for school and there is to be no wording on the seat.
- Inappropriate slogans, offensive content, or expressions, etc., are not to be worn on clothing.
- Undergarments are not to be visible.
- Any attire the administration considers interfering with quality of education shall not be permitted

At Gayman, the use of student cell phones/SMART Watches/personal devices in school is prohibited. As a reminder, these devices are to be silenced and remain in backpacks during the school day.
