As we approach the end of the 2025–2026 school year, we want to take a moment to thank you for your continued support and partnership. It has been a tremendous year of learning, growth, and community. As part of our year-end wrap-up, we kindly ask that students return their FID (Flexible Instructional Day) drawstring bags and any unused FID workbooks to their homeroom teacher ASAP.
Please note there is no penalty/fee if you are unable to locate the items. However, in an effort to promote sustainability and reduce waste, we hope to collect and reuse as many materials as possible.
Gayman will hold a Move Up Day on Thursday, June 11th from 9:00-10:00AM.
Students will not be assigned a specific teacher by that date. Instead students will meet all grade level teachers and learn about the highlights of what the 2026-2027 school year will hold for them. Our goal in this activity is to build excitement about the coming year and reduce anxiety for the next school year, as we head into the summer.
We look forward to the upcoming school year!
**AM Kindergarten families, please check your email from Mrs. Hofmann
for your invite to Move Up Day!
The Technology and Innovation Department will be collecting all devices from students in 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th grades. Students in 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th,10th, and 11th grades will keep their devices over the summer. Below are details about the collection of these devices. Please read them carefully.
*Note: The Technology and Innovation Department will work with buildings to re-deploy devices for students in 3rd, 6th, 7th, and 10th grades in August 2026.
**Gayman's Device collection will take place on Tuesday, June 9th. Please make sure your child comes to school with their device, charger, and pen.
Return Information:
- Please be sure your child is able to locate their device, charger, and pen (if applicable).

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.
If your clearances are current, upload them into the RAPTOR - Volunteer Tracker. If your clearances have expired, or you need to begin the clearance process, click on the Required Documents for the directions. For more information, consult the Human Resources Volunteer Required Paperwork webpage.
**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. If communication is needed, it will take place with the support of the school office during the school day.
Please be sure to share these expectations with your child as this policy will be enforced by teachers/staff in coordination with District Board policies and our student handbook.
