Dear Middle School Student,

This survey is designed to give us important information about our Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) program. This important information will come from you. We continually strive to improve the GATE program so that you are provided with interesting, challenging, and relevant opportunities in and out of your classroom(s). Your ideas, experiences and feedback will help us with these goals.

We would appreciate it if you could take 5-10 minutes to complete this survey by following the link to Survey Monkey. Your responses will be anonymous. A summary of the survey’s results will be shared with you later in the school year. Thank you very much.
