Together We Can! - Back to School 2020-2021 Edition
Dear Gayman Families,
As the Gayman Elementary School staff prepares for the upcoming school year, we are eagerly looking forward to seeing our students. To say that we missed them is an understatement. Behind a screen or right in front of us, we cannot wait to see our students soon!
Looking ahead, our staff has changed slightly:
- Kindergarten - Ms. Cell
- First Grade - Mrs. Kruzits, Mrs. Trouts, and a teacher to be announced.
- Second Grade - Mrs. Hofmann, Mrs. Klebba, and Mrs. Sinn
- Third Grade - Mrs. Brodzik, Mrs. Flanagan, Mrs. Menard, and Mr. Pisch
- Fourth Grade - Mrs. Bullard and Mr. Isaacsohn
- Fifth Grade - Mr. Hudak, Mr. Maduzia, and Mrs. Thompson
- Sixth Grade - Mr. Grace, Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Milroy
Our special education team includes Mrs. Arnold, Ms. Constable, Ms. Kersey, and Ms. O'Connor, while Mrs. Rhodes will continue to work in the gifted department.
This summer, we said goodbye to Mrs. Hallman-DiCicco (Art). The good news is that she is now teaching at Tohickon! Feel free to tell your older child to say hello.
Our specials teachers are:
- Art - Mrs. Noone
- Library - Mrs. Thomas
- Music - Mrs. Simon (Mr. Losch and Mrs. Quinn will be teaching instrumental music.)
- PE - Mr. Foster
- QUEST - Mr. Shaw
Finally, please join me in offering a warm welcome to Mrs. Sara Hedges, our new school nurse. She joins Mrs. Silvestri in the Health Office.
Please look for more information about some of our new faces in upcoming issues of the Gazette. While there is some change in the staffing this year, one thing remains consistent: the staff at Gayman put children first.
Again, we look forward to a wonderful school year!
Sincerely,
Kelly Carter
