2008-2009 GATE Testing Information
PUSD Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) involves services for students whose cognitive needs may require modified classroom curriculum and instruction to accommodate their learning differences and ensure their achievement. Parents may request GATE testing for students in grades 2-7.
If you believe that your child may require GATE services, there are two opportunities for your child to be evaluated this school year. You will find general information about GATE services and GATE test information from the GATE link on the PUSD Website (http://www.powayusd.com/teaching/learning/gate/).
