Classroom Materials & Supplies
However, please know we have plenty of basic school supplies, such as pencils, crayons, erasers, and more, for children to use. Our goal this year is to minimize the number of items that need to travel back and forth from home to school.
Find Your Child's Bus
To access transportation information:
- Log into Parent Portal.
- Click "More" on the left navigation bar.
- Click "Transportation".
Any questions, please call the Gayman Elementary School Office. Thank you!
Snack/Break Times in Our Hallways
Students are welcome to bring peanut products at lunchtime. We will continue to have peanut-free tables in our cafeteria and gymnasium. Thank you for helping us keep all students healthy and safe!
Attention Dismissal Car-Riders
To help move the car-rider line more quickly, we ask that all families place a Placard with their last name and child(ren)'s grade level on their dashboard. Once you reach the Gayman parking lot, a Gayman Staff member will call your child using a walkie-talkie. We ask for your patience and understanding during dismissal. Hopefully, once students are into the routine, we will be able to shorten the car-rider wait. Thank you!
For more information about dismissal, please see the graphic below.

Student Emergency & Information Form
It is time to update your child(ren)’s “Student Emergency & Information Form.” This must be done each year. The process will take approximately 10 minutes to complete, and will ensure we have current contact information for you and your family, which is even more critical as we begin the school year virtually. All CBSD families (with the exception of those who are new registrants for 2020-2021) are required to complete this update on/before September 30, 2020.
The online form will ask you to confirm and/or update the following:
· Demographic Information
· Emergency Contacts
· Health Information, including permission for emergency care and analgesic administration
· Media Release Preferences
Visit the CBSD Infinite Campus parent portal at www.cbsd.org/parentportal and don’t forget to hit submit at the end. You will receive an email verifying that your submission was received. Thank you!
