Gayman Gazette
One Team! - March 24th Edition
A Message from the Principal
As schools across Pennsylvania and the nation began to close their doors last week, we were left in unprecedented times. Yet, as always, our teachers stepped up to the challenge. They found ways to provide meaningful instruction, while staying connected to families. I have read countless posts in Seesaw, Teams chats, and emails that universally say one message: Our teachers care. And for that, and so much more, I am deeply grateful for their work.
These times are not easy. There were issues related to access to technology and getting food to families, but we are figuring it out. Our community is resilient. We have learned that there is a lot to do in a given day. We need to have a healthy balance of education, work, and family. So, you will notice in Week 2 of Distance Learning, there are abbreviated amounts of work. We will keep time allocations shorter. There is no pressure to complete everything.
In the meantime, I hope you and your family are healthy. I hope that I get to see your children one day very soon. Please let them know, that their Gayman Family misses them. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me,
Kelly Carter
