Welcome to the new GC website!

The new district and school websites, powered by ParentSquare’s Smart Sites, feature improved navigation, a streamlined layout consistent across all sites, and a user-friendly design to better serve our entire community. They also seamlessly integrate with ParentSquare, the district’s communication platform.

Although the new website has a redesigned look, most of the website components and menus are the same!

Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS)

In Gates Chili we are committed to developing a holistic approach to supporting students to maximize each student's achievement, foster belonging and support wellness in our community. New York State has adjusted its approach to supporting students academically over the last few decades, moving from a focus on Academic Intervention Services (AIS) to Response to Intervention (RtI) and most recently to Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS).

What is MTSS?

  • MTSS is a comprehensive framework designed to address the diverse academic, behavioral, and social-emotional needs of all students. It provides a proactive and data-driven approach to identify and support struggling students. It utilizes a three-tiered model of support that encompasses universal (Tier 1), targeted (Tier 2), and intensive (Tier 3) interventions.

Gates Chili MTSS Vision

  • Gates Chili is committed to implementing an effective Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) to equitably provide resources and ensure comprehensive supports that addresses the unique needs of each student. We are dedicated to supporting and empowering staff to implement high-quality academic, social/emotional, and behavioral instruction and intervention across all tiers, resulting in improved outcomes for each student.
