FACTS Family Portal (Parents’ Web) Gatewood uses a web-based school management system called FACTS. FACTS enables parents to access their family information via the Family Portal. Parents and family members can access a “snap shot” of academic progress and other important information via the internet by visiting the Gatewood Website (gatewoodschool.com), and clicking on the FACTS Parents’ Web Link. This is a very useful communication tool and can be accessed from any computer that has internet access. Login for ParentWeb can also be achieved directly from RenWeb’s website www.renweb.com using the login tab for parents. An abbreviated ParentWeb program is also available in a mobile app RenWeb Home free for iPhone and Android cell phone or tablet users.
Academic Achievement Awards/Honors Dual Enrollment: Gatewood Schools has a Dual Enrollment (DE) agreement with Gordon State College. Students who have a minimum of a 3.0 HOPE grade point average may be allowed to take college courses in lieu of core courses at Gatewood. These students must also apply and be accepted into Gordan State College. Gordon’s has minimum SAT and ACT that change yearly. Gatewood offers DE classes in biology, literature, and mathematics on its campus. Classes must have at least 5 qualified students to be offered. The DE program provides Gatewood with some control although we do have to strictly abide by college policy. 17
