• The Resource Specialist works with students who have an identified learning disability. Parents/Guardians of these children meet at least annually with the teacher, resource specialist, and principal to determine areas of emphasis and specific goals and to assess progress. If you have a concern about this area, please contact Wendy Ponder, the Resource Specialist at wponder@slusd.us. She is bilingual in Spanish so please feel free to communicate in the language you are most comfortable with.
