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!

Zdanowski, Ugine named next principals of GCMS and Walt Disney, respectively

Gates Chili Central School District is proud to re-introduce two members of the GC Leadership Team, who will be moving to new roles for the 2024-25 school year!

Dr. Dan Zdanowski will succeed Dr. Lisa Buckshaw as the next principal at Gates Chili Middle School. Zdanowski, the current principal at Walt Disney, has been with Gates Chili since 2022 and we look forward to his continued leadership in a new building.

Meanwhile, Erin Ugine will be the next principal at Walt Disney Elementary School. Ugine, who is currently assistant principal at Florence Brasser, has been with the district for 25+ years in a variety of roles at the building and district level.

Ugine’s departure from Brasser means that we now have two openings for assistant principal—at Brasser and Armstrong. Those jobs will be posted in the coming days and weeks.
