The GATE Collaborative brings together parents, teachers, and administrators to share insights, offer feedback, and support the continued development of EUSD’s GATE program. These meetings also include presentations on GATE-related topics designed to support both families and educators.
You are cordially invited to attend the three GATE Collaborative meetings this year as a teacher of GATE-identified students for the 2025–26 school year. Teachers who participate will be compensated at the non-instructional rate for their time.
