Your child's teacher will contact you about these support services if s/he believes they would be of benefit to your child.

Gifted and Talented Education (G.A.T.E.)

Richland's GATE program is designed to assist in meeting the unique needs of students who demonstrate superior ability. The program begins in third grade with a multiple criteria identification process. All students in grade 3 are screened, unless the parent requests his/her child not participate in this process. GATE students are clustered in specific classrooms in order to provide instruction that differentiates the core curriculum and provides them with advanced learning opportunities.
