It is that time of year when we need your help to gather pictures for the yearbook and the promotion video. The promotion video is a compilation of pictures of the kids from Kindergarten through 6th Grade.
We need the following photos:

- 1 Picture of your child in kindergarten (even if they did not attend Gayman Elementary for kindergarten)
- 2 Group pictures of your child with a few friends. (Please limit the picture to no more than 5-6 kids).
Please note if you do not have electronic copies of the photos, please contact Michele McNeil at msmcneil@verizon.net to plan to drop them off at her house.
Please e-mail your photos to the parent coordinators of each class:

Absences
Online Absences: If a student does not attend class, the student will be marked absent until we receive the communication from parents. Note: If a student logs-in initially, but leaves the call or does not engage, the comment "Virtually Cut" will be added to the comments section.
Feel free to reach out to Christine Stevens (cstevens@cbsd.org) with any questions.
Live Streaming
Live streaming is available for any student who is absent more than 2 days because the child tested positive for COVID-19, or the child is a close contact of someone who tested positive.
Once a teacher is notified, we will make arrangements including a materials pick-up at school. Live streaming will begin on day 3 of the absence, or earlier if feasible. Note: knowing that the majority of students in the class are in-person, there will be times when the teacher is not in camera view.
New Travel Guidelines
As of March 1, 2021, the Order of the Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Health for Mitigation Relating To Travel is no longer in effect. Travelers should still practice appropriate public health measures to slow the spread of COVID-19 such as masking, physical distancing, and hand hygiene. If your family is planning an upcoming trip, please complete a Request for Approved Absence Form.
Any questions about this procedure can be directed to Christine Stevens in the Gayman Office, at cstevens@cbsd.org.
