Referral Process

 

 

Gateway accepts Ventura County students who have been expelled from their district of residence. Gateway has a middle school program (6th-8th grade) and high school program (9th-12th grade). 

Gateway strives to expedite the student referral process and to ensure good customer service to districts, parents, and the students we serve.

Please contact Araceli Osuna, Induction/Transition Specialist, if you have questions regarding this process. 

The district of residence must submit a full referral packet to Gateway School with the following information included: 

 

  • Rehab Plan/Expulsion Notice 
  • Transcripts
  • Copy of original Home Language Survey
  • Testing Scores & ELPAC  (if applicable)
  • RFEP Date (if applicable)
  • Immunization Records (includes TDAP eff. 11/12 SY)
  • Attendance
  • Discipline/Suspensions
  • Most recent Individual Education Plan (IEP) or Special Education Documentation (if applicable)
  • Most recent Psychological Report (if applicable)
  • 504 Plan (if applicable)

Please make sure referral packet is complete. Packets missing any information, a Gateway representative will contact the district representative to advise & request of missing documents. This can slow down the process of enrolling the student at Gateway, so please ensure all information is included.
