The AV Equity Committee, an AV PTA committee, has created a Pandemic Resource Guide for SPUSD Families.  The guide is full of useful local community resources for families in need of support. Whether you are searching for a therapist, a tutor, or needing assistance with paying bills or securing affordable housing, this guide can help point you in the right direction. We also have translations available in Spanish, Chinese, and Korean .

The Pandemic Resource Guide can also be found HERE on the AV Website.
