Resources for Parents

Pomona area parents engage an informative AVID presentation with AVID District Leaders, Ashlee Peters and Delbert Duckins on October 30th, in the Ed. Center's Strategic Planning Room. Parents supported one another while advancing their understanding of how AVID functions, and how students become college and career ready in 15 AVID PUSD schools. These are great opportunities for the community to look more deeply into some of the fantastic best-practices going on within our district!
