Gilbert Public Schools

Registration for the 2025-2026 School Year

Opens Wednesday, February 12th

Kindergarten Screenings

Screenings will take place on June 16th and 17th.

To be eligible for admission to kindergarten, a child must be five years old before September 1st of the current school year. Children who turn five between September 1st and December 31st will undergo an assessment to determine if they are ready for early entrance into kindergarten.

Important Information:

• Kindergarten screenings will only take place in June. There will be no screenings for early entrance after these dates.
• Registration for screenings must be completed online, and a non-refundable $90 assessment fee will be collected during the registration process.
• Once your registration is completed, you will receive a confirmation email with details regarding the date, time, and location of your child’s screening.
• Results will be shared after the screening is completed.

Early Entrance Screening

For children seeking early entrance into kindergarten, the screenings assess both social and academic readiness to predict success in kindergarten. The screening process consists of:

• A social screening in a group setting.
• An academic readiness assessment, administered individually in a computer lab with support from a certified teacher.

Both screenings will be evaluated, and a final decision will be made regarding the child's readiness for kindergarten. This decision is final and there is no appeal process. Children will not be rescreened.

After the Screening:

If a concern arises within the first 30 school days about whether early placement is suitable for your child, a campus team may be convened to review and reconsider the decision.
