Move Up Day: June 11th
Come meet next year's teachers!
On the morning of June 11th, all instruction will be suspended so that our students can virtually meet their teachers in the next grade level. Using FlipGrid, every classroom teacher will post a short welcome message with information about the coming year.
Students are invited to watch the grade level videos and reply via a personal video or likes. Students can talk to teachers, and teachers will answer them. Enjoy this interactive way to "meet the teachers"! Look for more information, including the link and directions in a parent email next week.
Class Placement Update 2020-2021
In the summer months, student placement will be finalized. Know that considerable time and attention are being given to create well-balanced class groupings that consider the social, academic, and emotional needs of all students.
Just as in previous years, on Monday, August 3rd at 3:00PM, the 2020-2021 class lists will be announced via the Parent Portal. We look forward to a wonderful school year!
Home & School General Membership Meeting in August
In light of these highly uncertain times, the Gayman Home & School Association has decided to postpone our final General Meeting of the school year. We hope to hold the meeting in August, and we will announce a date and time as soon as we are able. At this meeting, the 2020-2021 Budget will be voted on. The Home & School Association hopes that you are all well.
Home and School Board Elections
In lieu of an in-person vote for the 2020-2021 Home and School Board at a general membership meeting, we have provided an online voting option this year. Please select one candidate for each position. Voting will close on June 12th. Click here to vote.Thank you in advance for your support in electing our Home and School Board.
Technology Support with Mr. Shaw
Mr. Jesse Shaw, our QUEST teacher at Gayman, provides a STEM based education for students, and technological coaching for teachers and parents. He is our resident Educational Technology expert and can provide advice and support to your students (and their teachers) during the school day. If you have a technology-related questions about Seesaw, Teams, or any other platform, please feel free out to reach out him at jshaw@cbsd.org. He is here to answer your questions!
2019-2020 Specials
We understand that some families have done the best they could and possibly choose not focus on specials. We just want to make sure there are no surprises when your child receives their progress report in June. This is just a reminder that if your child has not participated in specials, they will receive blanks in their progress report. There will also be a comment stating that they did not send in any work to the specialist during the distance learning time period.
If you need assistance, or have questions about your child's work, please feel free to reach out to the specialists directly.
CBSD Farmers Market
The CBSD Farmers Market is open every Wednesdays at 4:00 at Barclay Elementary School. We believe that in a community as well resourced as ours, no child should ever be hungry. If you find yourself in need, please stop by.
If you find yourself in a position of giving, consider supporting this initiative. Please help us share food with families and children throughout the Central Bucks School District during this crisis! Click HERE to support our Go Fund Me. Thank you for your generosity!
Summer Reading Fun!
