Parent Expectations A unique aspect of Gatewood Schools is that the family, not just the student, becomes a part of the school community.
Parent Activities and Organizations The Gatewood Association of Parents (The GAP): The GAP exists to provide a framework in which parents, teachers, and administration may work together to develop students academically, physically, spiritually and socially. The GAP serves as a non-partisan organization that makes a united effort to attract new families to Gatewood Schools. It also supports the activities of Gatewood students, administration and faculty through parent involvement. It promotes Gatewood through selected fundraising efforts for the benefit of the entire school. Members include parents or guardians of students enrolled at Gatewood Schools and teachers of your children. GAP meetings are posted on the school calendar. Personal Property While we hope and expect all students to operate in an honorable and ethical manner, it is advisable that all Gatewood personnel safeguard valuables at all times. Students are discouraged from bringing expensive toys or electronic devices, large sums of money, or headphones to school. If computers, tablets or other approved electronic devices are used during the school day, students are required to secure these items at all times. The school is not responsible for the security of or protection from such items being damaged or lost.
