Hi, my name is Veronica Kubes and I'm a special education teacher for the Temecula Valley Unified School District. I've been at Temecula Valley High School since 1996 and have worked in different facets on the comprehensive high school campus, but currently hol the position of SPED teacher in the Social Emotional Academic Learning (S.E.A.L.) class.

In volunteering my time with the CAC, I aspire to further help special education students and their families. I hope to be an additional resource for parents whether it is helping them understand their student’s disabilities, the IEP paperwork process or transition services.

I have 5 grown children and grandchildren that attend TVUSD schools.

Hi! I’m Gwen Riley and I've worked for the district for 15 years. I’ve enjoyed being a Special Day Class teacher, an LCAP Supplemental Support Specialist, and I'm currently a Program Specialist for Temecula Valley Unified School District.

I continue to immerse myself in trainings in order to have a broader knowledge base to be able to support students and their families. I joined CAC to help the team and to support parents with additional resources, provide parent education, increase awareness of available service options, and support activities on behalf of children with special needs.

I have 2 children that both have attended Great Oak High School (Go Wolfpack!) My daughter is working on her teacher credential and my son is a Marine.
