School Success Stories

In September 2006, PALMS began a study of how middle-grades leaders bring Tools for Latino Family Outreach to life. We worked closely with Helen Tyson Middle School in Springdale, Arkansas, and Hommocks Middle School in Larchmont, New York, over two years as they used the tools to create vibrant parent outreach programs and increase opportunities for students.
