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!

Code of Conduct and Support

The Gates Chili Code of Conduct and Support is designed to promote equity and access for our school community. It is grounded in restorative, trauma-sensitive and culturally responsive principles. This document provides a proactive and preventative approach, outlining rights, responsibilities, responses and interventions.

Developed with students, staff, administrators, board members, parents, guardians, and community partners, the code outlines the roles and responsibilities of all stakeholders. It sets behavior requirements, promotes bias-free environments, provides fair and equitable student discipline practices, and complies with all applicable laws and regulations.

In the Gates Chili Central School District, we view behaviors as teachable moments. It is important to hold individuals accountable while providing opportunities for re-teaching, reflection and growth. To improve educational outcomes, we offer interventions and behavior support aimed at maintaining high academic standards and safe learning environments for all.

We believe that understanding expectations, feeling a sense of belonging and respect, and knowing that people care are key to making positive decisions.

Dignity for All Students Act (DASA)

At Gates Chili Central School District, we are committed to providing a safe, supportive and inclusive learning environment where every student feels valued and respected. We recognize that a student’s ability to learn and achieve high academic standards is directly impacted by the environment in which they learn. That’s why we take incidents of bullying, discrimination and harassment seriously.

In accordance with the New York State Dignity for All Students Act (DASA), we strive to foster a school culture that is free from bullying, intimidation, taunting, discrimination and harassment—including cyberbullying. This applies to all students, regardless of actual or perceived race, color, weight, national origin, ethnic group, religion, religious practice, disability, sexual orientation, gender, or sex.

The district prohibits all forms of bullying, discrimination and harassment by students or staff, whether it occurs on school property, at school-sponsored events, or off-campus if it disrupts the school environment.

How to report an incident

If you witness or experience bullying, discrimination or harassment, we encourage you to speak up. To report an incident, select the appropriate school below and complete the confidential online form. The report will be sent directly to the Dignity Act Coordinator (DAC) for that building, who will follow up in a timely and appropriate manner.
