Dear Wild Cat Families,
My name is Gladys Palomino, and I am your Family Liaison at Steuart Weller Elementary School. I work to bridge the gap between home and school by helping parents get the information and support they need to ensure their child's academic and social success. I am happy to help you navigate your path through the Loudoun County Public School system. We strive to make sure that each student has the necessary resources to help them achieve their best. In this everchanging economic climate, sometimes we find ourselves in need of outside resources and assistance. The Family Liaison is here to help and share the many available resources that our community provides. All our conversations are strictly confidential, so don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.
How Can I Get in Touch with The Family Liaison?
You can schedule an appointment by email gladys.palomino@lcps.org (Monday to Friday).
