Each month, Ms. Carrillo is writing and sending home a publication in English and Spanish for parents on any school events and activities happening at Gates School.  You can also download a copy of the newsletter by clicking the link on the Gates School principal page.  The Spanish newsletter is also available.

Parent classes for computer skills and English as a second language began in October.  Classes are held in the computer lab each Wednesday evening, from 6:15 to 7:45 PM for Gates parents.

Two mornings a week, Ms. Merlo, Parent Liaison, is teaching the English ESL classes.

An after-school computer class is held every Thursday through an Aurora Foundation grant.  The class of 30 students will run through the school year.  The after-school tutoring program just began under the Title I program.
