The San Diego Unified School District will be resuming GATE assessment and identification beginning in 2022.

For Current 2nd and 5th Grade Eligible Students
The eligible student groups to be assessed during the school year are:

• Universal Screening for all 2nd graders
• 5th grade students who meet reassessment criteria
• 5th grade students who are new to the district or have not been assessed

Each school site will coordinate and select administration dates from the available assessment windows (midyear or spring) to complete assessments at their site. More information regarding details of the assessment will be sent to families by the school site coordinator. 
For specific questions regarding your child and their school site, please contact your school site psychologist who is coordinating the assessment. For general information, please see the district website or contact gate@sandi.net. 

 For Current 3rd and 4th Grade Eligible Students

The eligible student groups to be assessed during the SDUSD Summer Experience are: 

• All current 3rd grade students
• Current 4th grade students who have not been assessed or are new to the district

The district will coordinate and schedule assessment administration dates during the Summer Experience programs that will be taking place at sites across the district. Students enrolled in the Summer Experience will be assessed during the regular program day. Students who are not enrolled in the Summer Experience Program will have the opportunity to register and attend an assessment session. 
More information about the session dates and registration process will be posted on the GATE website and sent to applicable families in the spring. 

Students who are currently attending private/charter schools (not enrolled at SDUSD) must be enrolled at SDUSD (in the Summer Experience) to have an opportunity to be assessed during the Summer Experience sessions in 2022.
