"The PALMS toolkit provided us a structure from which to develop a lot of good ideas."
- Assistant Principal and PALMS Facilitator

Download Toolkit

Tools for Latino Family Outreach can be dowloaded in Portable Document Format (PDF). To download the toolkit, you must be a registered user of our site.  To register, click here.  After your registration, we might contact you via email to ask if and how you have used the toolkit. Your registration information and feedback will be used for the sole purpose of improving these materials, and no contact information will ever be shared outside of the PALMS project.


As a registered user, you will also gain access to our discussion forums, and will have access to all of our multimedia materials. Whenever you return to the PALMS website, you can log in by clicking the link in the top right hand corner from any page on the site. The toolkit is divided into several sections to make the download easier.
