Laptop Summer Collection
The Technology and Innovation Department is preparing to collect all devices from students in grade 6. Students in grades 3-5 will keep their device over the summer.
*Note: The Technology and Innovation Department will work with buildings to re-deploy devices to students entering 7th and 10th grade in August 2023.
Return Information:
- Laptop collections will occur the week of June 12.
- Please be sure your child is able to locate their device, charger, and pen (if applicable).
- Laptop bags do not need to be returned. Your child will be reusing this bag next year.
- If there are any technical issues with the device, please be sure to place a help desk ticket so we can resolve the issue prior to summer.
Missing Accessories: Please go to MyPayments Plus to pay for items that you lost or damaged while in your possession. Bring a receipt with you to collection as proof of payment.
Move Up Day
Gayman will hold a Move Up Day on Wednesday, June 14th from 9:00-10:00AM.
Students will not be assigned a specific teacher by that date. Instead students will meet all grade level teachers and learn about the highlights of what the 2023-2024 school year will hold for them. Our goal in this activity is to build excitement about the coming year and reduce anxiety for the next school year, as we head into the summer.
We look forward to the upcoming school year!
