PSSA Testing Starts Next Week
Students in grades 3, 4, 5 and 6 will begin PSSA testing next week (April 14th-17th). Studies have shown that students who have had a good night sleep pay better attention to details and handle the demands of a test. Students should eat a balanced diet and should eat regularly.
Testing occurs during the course of the school day. For a complete schedule click here.

April Boomerang Award
This year, Gayman will continue to accept nominations for the Boomerang Award, which is our way of honoring students who best demonstrate their own developmental assets. What are Developmental Assets? Students possessing a combination of “40 Assets” are typically most successful in school and in life. These assets have the power to influence choices young people make and help them become caring, responsible adults. For a complete listing of the 40 Developmental Assets and the Nomination form please click on the link below:
