GATE NEWS!
Welcome Maple GATE Parents!
I wanted to say, “hello”, as I am excited to serve as Maple’s GATE DAC (Gifted and Talented Education) District Advisory Council, for the 2020 -2021 school year! My name is Holly Mulligan and this will be my second year serving in this role. My 5th grader; Tyler Mulligan, was able to participate in our Friday GATE Lunch Bunches in-person on campus, when he was in 4th grade. This school year as we know, will look a little different, but we’re still bringing the fun via Zoom!
Fantastic collaboration again this year between myself and Mrs. Warner; 3rd grade teacher and GATE Facilitator will be happening. Your child can look forward to monthly Zoom GATE Lunch Bunch (first Friday of the month, beginning October 2nd 11:30am-12pm…with more details to come), GATE district activities, and you, as parents, can stay connected through communication from me. Communication includes information from the monthly GATE DAC District Advisory Council meetings, upcoming GATE activities, webinars, monthly newsletter, resources and a community.
Participation in the GATE DAC communication thread is entirely optional. If you would like to opt-in, please complete the form through the link and return to me at maplegatedac@gmail.com
