The numbers are in! Thank you to all our amazing families and the community for your participation in our Borough Bagels Dine & Donate event on April 18th.

We raised $2,150.54 to help support all of the amazing activities, clubs and events that we put on throughout the year.

We wrapped up our last session of Yoga Club last week and the kids had an amazing time! Our Gayman Yogis learned so many things over the four weeks of the club. They used meditations to learn self-control, mindfulness and how to slowly move through the experience using all their senses. They also learned how to help connect breath with body awareness by pausing and noticing. The pause helps them learn how to calm their bodies and make thoughtful choices instead of quick reactions—skills they can use when they feel frustrated, excited, or overwhelmed. They also kept journals, created a kindness chain and worked on connecting their strong with their calm. Huge thank you to Jess Winn for being an amazing instructor for our young Yogis.

Our staff was overjoyed to see their door this morning.

Thank you all for making us smile on a Monday!!

President - Jessica Winn
VP of Community - Devon Summersgill

It’s hard to believe that we are almost at the end of another school year. We couldn’t do all the things we do throughout the year without the dedication, time and kindness of all our parent volunteers. Whether you are a homeroom parent, a committee member or just volunteered for an event - you are all what makes Gayman and our events so special for the kids.

We’d like to recognize you at our Annual Volunteer Appreciation Reception on June 3rd at 2:30pm in the APR.

Sign up here to let us know you’re coming - light refreshments will be served.

School reminders that will remain in all issues of the Gazette.

All absences must be entered through the Parent Portal.

Click here for more information, including directions on how to upload a student absence: Managing Student Attendance.

Regular school attendance is critical for a successful school experience. The district urges all parents/guardians to stress punctuality and regular attendance habits with their children. Read more about CBSD attendance and state attendance rules and procedures for student absences.

Student dismissal begins promptly at 3:15PM.

If you need to pick your child up early for an appointment, please pick them up no later then 2:45PM. After 2:45PM, your child can be dismissed with the other walkers, bus riders, and car riders in his/her classroom to ensure a safe and efficient dismissal for everyone. Thank you!

To volunteer at a class party or chaperone a field trip, your clearances must be up-to-date & on file with Central Bucks School District.

**We no longer have access to App Garden. All clearances approved through that system are null and void. The only way we can track clearances now is through RAPTOR.**

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.
