Advisory Council Needs You!!
HAVE YOU SEEN LAW ENFORCEMENT ON OUR CAMPUS?
We want to take a moment to thank the Petaluma Fire Department, Station One, Shift A for their recent annual visit with our second and third grade students during Fire Safety Month. Also, a special thank you to the Petaluma Police Department, for their recent visit to our K/1 classes as part of a community outreach program. Officers came to read with our classes and answered many questions from our curious students. Thanks to Officer Ron Flores and Sgt. Glaviano!

OVERVIEW OF DISTRICT GATE ID PROCESS
Parents of Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Grade Students:
The month of December 2018 begins the Petaluma City Schools’ Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) identification cycle. Our district screens all students in 3rd grade, and any 4th-6th grade students who desire to be retested. Students are screened through the use of the CogAT (Cognitive Abilities Test). For 4-6 grade re-screening, please contact your child's teacher for more information.
