BILINGUAL AND WANT TO HELP OUR COMMUNITY? SIGN UP FOR THE PUSD BILINGUAL VOLUNTEER REGISTRY!
PUSD is a diverse school district with families from around the world. With more families coming from other countries, we're creating a registry of community members who are bilingual (English and any other language) that are willing to partner with families who may need support with translation/interpretation as they learn English or are looking to get connected with families who share their background. Registering through this form is not a guarantee that you will be connected with another family and you may opt out at any time or if you are unable to assist a family depending on their needs. This registry is open to current and former PUSD families, in addition to community members who are interested in supporting our students and their families.

Commitment to Equity in Education
The Amador Valley Counseling team embraces equity, inclusion, and social justice as pillars of excellence that are critical to personal development, community well-being, and organizational growth during high school. Each counselor strives to cultivate a culture of authenticity and actively build a community that is comprised of members that bring diversity in their background, culture, and life experiences. We nurture "telling our truths" about the impact of bias, marginalization, and discrimination, and of listening to and accepting this feedback as resource for growth, at the individual and institutional level. This work is urgent, our efforts will be continuous, and we will always be learning. We know and accept that we will make mistakes and we will own our responsibility for restorative action. We hold ourselves and one another accountable to the commitments and expectations in this statement.
If you or someone you know is in crisis, please contact the Pleasanton PD at (925) 931-5100, call 911, or take them to the nearest emergency room.
