GATE Parents Meeting: GATE students are students who are capable of working consistently at a level two years ahead of their age and grade. Selection for GATE is based on multiple measures that include the results of the STAR Test, School Report Cards and class work. An invitation has been sent to the parents of all GATE students to attend a meeting on Friday 17th September. This is an open meeting and everyone is welcome to attend.

STAR Test Results: The STAR test results were sent to each family during the summer. If you have not received your child’s results, please contact me and I will send another copy to you. This year our results were good in English Language and weaker in Math. Thank you to each student in grades 2-8 for trying your best and thank you to all the parents for supporting your child’s efforts.
