GATE General Information
 
The purpose of the GATE program is to provide challenging curriculum and instruction for students who are capable of achieving at a level significantly beyond that of their grade level. 

Each year a short test called the Raven Progressive Matrices is given to every third grade student in the district to determine whether the student may be eligible for this program. Parents are notified in writing if their child is determined to be GATE eligible. 

GATE identified students, in grades 4-8, are invited to participate in after school GATE enrichment classes. Annually we host a Geography Bee, Art classes, and summer Algebra Academy.  Eligible students will receive an invitation letter for each enrichment program along with instructions on how to sign up. Once invitation letters are sent out, please visit www.wjusdgate.net for additional information on current GATE enrichment classes.
