GATE screening results and screening assessment scores will be mailed to all families in grades 1 & 3. Student need for GATE services is determined through a multi-step process that includes not only the CogAT results, but also academic factors and social-emotional considerations. 

GATE services eligibility letters and CogAT score reports will be mailed in Early June 2024. All notifications about GATE services are sent via the US Postal Service. If you do not receive a letter by Friday, July 12th, you may call the GATE Department at 916-643-9427.

All families are notified about their child’s screening assessment results and eligibility status.

The GATE Department does not share GATE screening results over the phone or via e-mail. 

Your school site does not have access to the GATE screening results until after letters have been mailed.
