GATE at Sunnyside
Gifted and Talented Education
The staff and parent community at Sunnyside Elementary School is committed to providing our students with novel and challenging educational opportunities. Our dedicated teaching staff utilizes differentiation strategies to address the needs of all our students. Students are identified for the GATE program initially based on CST scores, and recommendations from both teachers and parents. Sunnyside and the district are committed to identifying potential GATE students from under represented student populations such as English Language Learners (ELL’s) and students with Individual Education Plans (IEP’s).
We have a newly formed GATE parent committee that meets periodically to discuss issues that pertain to GATE students and plan activities for extended learning opportunities for GATE students both during and after school. Our GATE program is coordinated by Fifth Grade teacher Kim Peters. For more information, please contact her at [email protected].
Please see our Academics Page for a complete list of academic enrichments at Sunnyside.
