Please sign up for a spring conference. All current students that would like to return to Gateway MUST have a conference. Our seats for fall are first come first serve. The only way to get a seat is to have a conference.

​We really, really like seeing the parents of our students, so please come see us!

Winter Conferences will be held from January 31-February 2. All students must have a parent sign the schedule even if it is just to decline a conference. On Thursday we will serve dinner to students and their families from 2-7 pm. Please let us know how many people to expect.

On November 22, Gateway lost one of its biggest supporters, Beth Palmatier. Beth served as our school secretary for many years, but more importantly she was our friend, advocate, cheerleader and motivator. Her impact on our students can not be overstated. In 2016 Beth was awarded the "Outstanding Advocate Award"  by the Michigan Alternative Education Organization, a worthy accomplishment. 

In tribute to Beth our students created a memory tree. Current and former students submitted memories of Beth which were printed our and made into flowers and leaves to decorate the tree. 

Today we celebrated our annual Friendsgiving with friends and family. Our students made a baked potato bar and desserts for everyone to enjoy.

We are very proud to announce that our student, Jasmine Mann, took 9th place overall in points out of 64 racers at Galesburg Speedway this racing season. This is only Jasmine's second year of racing and she has a bright future in front of her in this sport. Way to go, Jasmine!

Today our students and staff spent the day at the Sherman Lake YMCA Camp. During this annual event, we are challenged with team-building events, affirmation exercises, and opportunities for personal growth. Today we were able to use the team climbing ladder and participated in several group activities. Thank you very much to the YMCA staff and our generous donors who make this possible!

)This year Gateway students are once again volunteering at the Richland Area Community Center on Friday Mornings. Our students work one-on-one with senior citizens to help them with any issues they have with their phones or other electronic devices. If you would like help with your phone, please contact the RACC at (269) 629-9430.
