Sorry I'm so ramble-ly.. but I will really appreciate any advice or suggestions.
Great forethought to wait until you have your composure to contact the school district. To avoid rambling, you may wish to make a list of things you want to say, and another list of things you may share if asked. Then during your phone call, and in subsequent conversations, if it is not on the list DO NOT SAY IT.

For example (your lists may be different):
Want to say
- live in the area
- recommended by preschool to request gifted identification testing
- child's age
- are there forms for you to fill out
- what does the gifted identification testing consist of
- how is it scheduled
- what does your child need to bring (water bottle, snack, lunch, toy for break time, etc)?
- any prior testing your child has had
Information to share if asked
- list of milestones (note: begin constructing list now if you do not already have one)
- list of child's interests, activities

This is a good time to begin a dated journal of whom you spoke with, and a brief summary of each contact.
