GATE Testing
The window for families to sign their students up for 2025 GATE testing closes tomorrow. As a reminder, the GATE test will be administered by contracted examiners and students will test at their home school sites in January. Each site will host testing one day after school and two rooms will be needed for testing. The GATE testing schedule will be shared with principals and site clerical by 11/22. If parents call your site about GATE testing, please remind them that they will receive an email from Educational Services by 12/23 confirming their student’s testing date, time, and location.

Accessibility Resources

At our State and District Assessment leader meeting this week, we shared resources to refer to when discussing students who may need Designated Supports or Accommodations on state testing. Please work with your State and District Assessment Leader to discuss a plan of how these supports will be assigned to students.
