School Site AAA/GATE Parent Meetings

Each elementary, middle, and high school in the Capistrano Unified School District has an AAA/GATE program and AAA/GATE coordinator.  These coordinators conduct three AAA/GATE Parent Advisory Committee meetings each year.  All AAA/GATE parents are welcome to attend their school site's AAA/GATE Parent Advisory Committee meetings.  The purpose of these meetings is to discuss specific elements of the school's AAA/GATE program, such as the school's AAA/GATE plan, budget, and extracurricular activities.  In addition, the AAA/GATE Parent Advisory Committee meetings contain a parent education component, where current GATE educational issues are discussed. 

If you are interested in attending an AAA/GATE Parent Advisory Committee meeting at your school site, please check your principal's Listserv Newsletter or contact your school site's AAA/GATE coordinator for the meeting dates.  Click below for a list of the AAA/GATE coordinators at each school site:

In order to receive state funding, CUSD must submit a GATE grant to the State Board of Education. GATE grant applications are approved for 1, 2, or 3 years based on criteria in the State Board of Education's Recommended Standards for Programs for Gifted and Talented Students.
