Current DVUSD students already have their gifted scores in our PowerSchool system and should
not have to supply more documentation in the application. If for some reason we do not have the scores,
you will be contacted after filling out the application.
Students not enrolled in DVUSD will need to have parents send their gifted identification scores
If you need to be tested and identified as gifted, you may participate in our district level testing.
