Interpretation and Translation

Our district is committed to providing all parents access to their student’s education, regardless of their home language. Using information provided by parents during the registration process, we identify the
most appropriate language for home communications.

Based on the number of Spanish, Russian, and Ukrainian-speaking families in our district, we employ bilingual community liaisons to facilitate two-way communication and active engagement. In addition, we access telephonic language interpretation and schedule outside interpreters as needed to support families from all language backgrounds.

To the right is a list of our Spanish-speaking liaisons, their contact information, and the schools they support.

La lista a la derecha muestra los nombres, correos electrónicos y números de teléfono de los enlaces comunitarios quienes hablan Español, Ruso y Ucraniano y las escuelas que cada enlace apoya.

Our schools and district offices utilize telephonic and online interpretation in other languages. Don't hesitate to get in touch with your student's school if you need interpretation support in another language.
