Yes. Please visit our GATE Department website for information regarding GATE placement.
How do I know if my child who is identified GATE Cluster or Seminar has been scheduled into the correct classes?
GATE is a humanities-based program. All language arts and history classes at Dana are either GATE Cluster or GATE Seminar. Seminar classes have an “S” designation.
My student is not GATE identified but they were placed in seminar classes at the elementary.

My Seminar student does not have a seminar math class. Why?
Seminar is a humanities-based program. Therefore all 5th grade students are scheduled into a class titled Math 5. The district offers diferentiated math classes starting in 6th grade. Placement in these classes has no connection to GATE. Follow this link to learn more about our math program.
