   2. The Gifted testing technicians will contact parents at least one week prior to testing with the test date, time and location. (Gifted specialists at the testing school site will be copied on communication with the parent.)
   3. Because the student is not enrolled in PVUSD, the parents must transport the students to the school for testing, and remain present in the school building throughout the test administration.
