All absences must be entered through the Parent Portal.

As we begin the 2024-25 school year, CBSD wishes to remind families of important information regarding attendance. Pennsylvania's school laws, like Act 138 of 2016 and the updated Act 16, outline what is required for mandatory school attendance and procedures to follow when students are absent or late. Learn more.

Student dismissal begins promptly at 3:15PM.

If you need to pick your child up early for an appointment, please pick them up no later then 2:45PM. After 2:45PM, your child can be dismissed with the other walkers, bus riders, 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 & on file with Central Bucks School District.

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.

Each year during the holidays, our community has generously supported Gayman families in need. This year, we are asking our Gayman community to choose a tag from our tree, which is displayed in the front hallway. – You may help by purchasing a gift card for the store your tag indicates-either Walmart, Target, Kohls, or Amazon. Please bring the gift cards to the office by Friday, December 13th, labeled with the value of each giftcard.

We, as a staff, would like to extend our sincere gratitude for your generosity! This is a wonderful opportunity for us to set an example for children to bring joy to others.

Warmest holiday wishes to you and your family,

The Staff of Gayman Elementary School

**Tags will be available later this week.

CBSD utilizes the online platform MySchoolBucks for school meal payments, making it easy to oversee a child's meal choices and maintain their account balance. It is important that an account is created for every student, regardless of whether they take part in school meals or not.

You can access MySchoolBucks to view and/or set up an account for your student(s) here.

To set up an account, you will need your child(ren)'s student identification number(s), which can be found in the Parent Portal.

The application for free and reduced meal pricing for the 2024-25 school year is open. You 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 24-25 school year.
