Announcing ... Our School Musical!
If your daughter or son is interested in participating in the spring musical we invite you to attend one of two information meetings. They will be held at Gayman on October 2nd at 6:30 and October 3rd at 3:30. We will be discussing practice schedules, time commitment, roles, the audition process, and the parent volunteer opportunities that make this endeavor a success.

Student Attendance Law
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania requires that an absence excuse submitted by the parent or guardian be on file for every day of the student’s absence.
How do I notify the school that my child is absent? The most efficient way to excuse an absence is to email us directly at gmnattend@cbsd.org.
What is the new state attendance policy? Truancy is now defined as a student who has had 3 or more days of unexcused absences during the current school year. If students reaches 3 or more unexcused absences, the staff at Gayman must hold a parent/teacher conference to address and remedy attendance issues.
Volunteer Clearances
To ensure the safety of our children:
Pennsylvania law requires all persons having direct contact with school children to obtain background checks and clearances. In the best interest of the safety and security of our students, Central Bucks School District requires the submission of these clearances prior to volunteering. Approved volunteers are given an identification card to be presented at the school (along with your photo ID, such as a driver's license) when volunteering. Volunteer clearances/background checks are valid for five years. Please note: to volunteer for classroom parties, chaperoning field trips, etc. you will be asked to show your identification card.
For further information regarding how to obtain your clearances: Click HERE.
