If you are concerned with your child's development and live within the Gilbert Public School boundaries, we offer free screenings, by appointment only.
To begin the referral process, you will need to:
- Complete an Infinite Campus registration for the 2024 year, choosing Advantage Preschool as the enrollment grade.
Infinite Campus: New Family Registration | Existing GPS Family Registration or www.gilbertschools.net/enroll
Please Note: Enter the child during the online enrollment as an "enrolling student" , "GPS Holding" as the campus and "Requesting Child Find Screening" on the New/Returning drop down menu.
For help with an existing Infinite Campus account, click here If you have created a profile previously but never created your Parent Portal access, you will need to follow the instructions on the help page to activate your Parent Portal, then complete the registration via your Parent Portal.
- Upload your child’s birth certificate and your proof of residency during the Infinite Campus Registration.
- PROOF OF RESIDENCY MUST BE A CURRENT LEASE, GAS, WATER, OR ELECTRIC BILL IN A PARENT'S NAME (If utilities are not in a parent's name it must be one of these items attached to the house address along with a notarized letter from the person named on the document stating that your child lives at the said address) This is required before proceeding in the testing process.
- If there are any court orders or custody papers pertaining to this child, bring the documents to the screening/evaluation so they may be included in the file.
If screening results indicate the need for an evaluation, the district will conduct the evaluation (screening location map). Weekly Child Find screenings are held by appointment only.
If the student is determined eligible under the Arizona Department of Education guidelines, an IEP is developed and the student will be offered services to address the student's needs.

Transfer Students: If your child has been evaluated by another school district, and has a current or expired IEP/MET, please complete the Infinite Campus registration, choosing Advantage Preschool as the enrollment grade and contact darla.wilson@gilbertschools.net to obtain additional transfer student information. You will need to send in your child’s original evaluation report and their most recent IEP.
