GATE: Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) identification testing for the 2024-2025 school year will be taking place in January 2024.  

The GATE identification test will be administered at your student’s school site and is available for students currently in 3rd – 7th grade. Students who sign up to take the GATE identification test will take the Otis-Lennon School Ability Test (OLSAT), which tests abstract thinking and reasoning ability. 



*Bathroom Access: Please make sure that students understand they can use the bathroom during class. We understand that excessive bathroom use or using the bathroom right after recess is a challenge. Please communicate with families if it becomes a problem. What we want to avoid is any anxiety about not being able to use the bathroom.

**Please remember to check the LIVE Google Calendar as dates/times are subject to change.
