About Our Preschools

The Gilbert Public Schools District requires online registration for each new preschool student in addition to the Eleyo preschool registration for tuition students. Returning students will complete an Annual Update when requested by their campus. This assures that the information in the district system stays up-to-date for emergency contacts. The district online registration for your preschooler must be completed prior to your child attending.

If you have not already completed this enrollment, please go to www.gilbertschools.net/enroll and enter your preschooler as an enrolling student (do not list them as a non-school age sibling). Select GPS Holding as your campus when prompted. Please note: If you have other children enrolled in GPS you may complete the district registration through your Parent Portal.  Login to your Infinite Campus Parent Portal, choose More from the list on the left, then choose Online Registration. You may then add your preschooler as an enrolling student there.

You will then go to the campus to finalize registration. You must provide the child's original birth certificate, proof of residency (gas, water or electric bill in parents name), immunizations and your ID prior to your child attending class.  Please do this as soon as possible after tuition registration has been approved. Do not wait for a call from the campus.
