GATE
In the SRVUSD, our Strategic Direction of Deep Learning and Innovation ensures all students have access to high quality instruction with opportunities for deeper learning.
GATE in SRVUSD is an identification only, not a program. GATE-identified students do not receive additional pull out, push in, or after school learning opportunities.
Gate by Grade Level
Elementary:
In the SRVUSD, grades 3-5 GATE identified students are in every class, and teachers differentiate within their classes.
Secondary:
At the middle school level, GATE identified students are placed in individually appropriate courses and teachers differentiate within their classes. All students (not just GATE identified students) have the opportunity to be in an accelerated math pathway based on demonstration of mastery of prerequisite skills. Find more information on the middle school math program. At the high school level, all students (those in GATE or not) have the opportunity to be admitted into Honors and Advanced Placement classes in selected courses based on eligibility. Entrance into advanced visual and performing arts classes is based on an audition process.
Previously Identified as GATE from Another District
Previously identified gifted students who enter SRVUSD are considered for GATE identification as determined by the SRVUSD's GATE identification criteria. Parents should provide their student’s GATE identification paperwork to their school office. The paperwork needs to include: 1. document that certifies that the student was in a gifted program, and 2. name of assessment measure(s) and student’s scores used to qualify the student for GATE. Please email documentation to Ramaa Ravi at rravi@srvusd.net
