Click here for more information, including directions on how to upload a student absence: Managing Student Attendance.

If you would like to pick up your son/daughter early for an appointment, please pick up your child before 2:45PM. After 2:45PM, your child will be asked to wait with the other walkers, bus and car riders in his/her classroom, to ensure a safe and efficient dismissal for everyone.

Thank you!

To volunteer at a class party or chaperone a field trip, your clearances must be up-to-date.

If your clearances are current, upload them into the App Garden - Volunteer Tracker. If your clearances have expired, or you need to begin the clearance process, click on the Required Documents for the directions. For more information, consult the Human Resources Volunteer Required Paperwork webpage.

During physical activity, it is important that students wear proper footwear. Loose fitting shoes (i.e. crocs, moccasins, slippers, etc.) create safety challenges during recess and physical education class. For example, during kick ball at recess, crocs have flown off and we have had a few toe injuries during PE.

If your child has physical education class, or would like to play an active recess game, please ensure that they are wearing sneakers. Thank you!

Families can access the online application for Free & Reduced Meals by clicking here. The application must be submitted each year AND for each child. If your child received free or reduced lunch last year, you must re-apply for the 23-24 school year.

It was another successful KCC meeting last week, when 35 students decorated and filled nearly 70 bags of healthy snacks for the kids at Christ's Home in Warminster. In addition to applesauce, fruit snacks, pretzels and other snacks, Gayman students made fun Valentine's Day crafts to tuck in the bags and brighten the kids' day. The staff at Christ's Home were overwhelmed and grateful when the bags were dropped off on Friday afternoon. As always, a big thank you to all who volunteered their time or donated supplies! We really are making the world a better place one act of kindness at a time.
