Velázquez Family
Biliteracy Program
Velázquez Family Biliteracy Program is an easy and flexible program to help schools and districts implement a Seal of Biliteracy or Biliteracy Pathway Recognition Program which celebrates multilingualism with students and their families. Beyond the celebrations, schools and districts can engage and co-power with families, parents and communities and comply with state and federal requirements on family engagement.
