If your child will be five years of age between September 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012 you may consider having your child tested to see if he/she will qualify for early entrance kindergarten. We currently are accepting applications for early entrance. There is a fee of $45.00 to cover the assessment. This can be done at the District Office through the Community Education Department at 2935 South Recker Road in Gilbert. The assessments begin in June and will conclude prior to the first day of school. Students who qualify for early entrance through the assessment may then enroll.
Where do I enroll my child for kindergarten?Enrollment for the 2012 - 2013 school year takes place at our K-8 schools. Please visit your home school to enroll your child. If you live outside the district boundaries, please call (480) 279.7000 so that we can help you with your selection of schools. Enrollment packets and school boundary information can be found here.
