The Modesto City Schools GATE office screens applicants every year for placements in the GATE Learning Center sites. If you are interested in having your child screened for GATE, the first step is to contact your GATE site representative. A parent permission form is the first requirement for the process. For other information about the GATE program, GATE Learning Center sites, admissions and testing criteria, and GATE staff, click around this website! If there is information that you want but do not see on the website, feel free to us the “contact us” link and let our office know!
