Principal's Message
Dear Gayman Families,
I hope you are doing well and enjoying these summer months.
As we look forward to the upcoming, 2022-2023 school year, I would like to share our staffing plans. Please know the teaching assignments are tentative, though I do not anticipate significant changes.
There is little change in our classroom teachers:
- Kindergarten - Ms. Cell (soon to be Mrs. Kuhn)
- First Grade - Mrs. Kruzits, Mrs. Trouts and Mrs. Ventresca
- Second Grade - Mrs. Della Porta, Mrs. Klebba, and a new Gayman teacher
- Third Grade - Mrs. Flanagan, Mrs. Menard and Mr. Pisch
- Fourth Grade - Mrs. Bullard, Mr. Isaacsohn and Ms. Law
- Fifth Grade - Mr. Hudak, Ms. Khatchadourian and Mr. Maduzia
- Sixth Grade - Mr. Grace, Mrs. Milroy and Mrs. Thompson
In the fall, Ms. Hoffman will be stepping away for a year-long sabbatical. Please join me in wishing her well on her professional endeavors. Therefore, we will welcome a new 2nd grade teacher to our community. The teacher's name will be announced early August.
In our specialist staffing, Mrs. McGough, Ms. O'Connor, Mrs. (Constable) Pisani, Mrs. Fili, and Mrs. Rhodes will continue to work in the speech, special education and gifted department. Sadly, we are saying goodbye to Ms. Kersey. She is moving to the Buckingham Elementary where she will be teaching students with autism; however, we are welcoming a new special education teacher to Gayman, Mrs. Cheryl Roche. Mrs. Roche joins us from a neighboring school district, and we look forward to joining our community!
Our specialists will also remain the same:
- Art - Ms. Noone
- Library - Mrs. Thomas
- Music - Mrs. Simon
- PE - Mr. Foster
- QUEST - Mr. Shaw
- Band - Mr. Losch
- Strings - Mrs. Quinn
In 2022-2023, Mrs. Hedges, Mrs. Moran, Mrs. Kehoe, and Ms. Meier will return to support our students' physical, emotional, and academic needs. We will also have a new addition to our Reading Department, Mrs. Laura Halpin. We are delighted to have Mrs. Halpin, a former Butler Elementary School teacher, join our reading team!
Just as in previous years, final class assignments will be announced on August 1st via the Parent Portal.
We look forward to seeing everyone soon!

Class Placement 2022-2023
In the summer months, student placement is finalized. Know that considerable time and attention went into creating well-balanced class groupings that consider the social, academic, and emotional needs of all students. The process began with parent input, and then, former homeroom teachers, along with our counselor, reading specialist, and special education teachers developed class lists.
As you know, all of our teachers are caring, capable, and highly qualified educators. Our job is to support our students by developing confident, capable individuals. I ask you to trust the process and celebrate your child's placement with your son/daughter.
On Monday, August 1st at 8:00AM the 2022-2023 class lists will be announced via the Parent Portal.
We look forward to the excitement that a new school year brings!
