• Welcome! 

    There is a long history of volunteerism associated with the Gates Chili Central School District. Over the years, parents and community members have willingly contributed their time and talents to promote student growth and learning. Volunteering makes a difference in your child’s education and research shows that children whose parents are involved in their school do better academically and socially. Being a school volunteer allows you to connect to the school community and make it a better place. At Gates Chili, we believe volunteers are an invaluable resource to our teachers and students.
