Oral interpreters and American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters are available to assist our District families when meeting in person or via video conferencing at your child’s school, virtually, or attending a school or District activity.

To request this service, please contact your child’s school at least 5 school days prior to ensure availability. 

Interpreters can be provided for various meetings, such as parent-teacher conferences, special education eligibility meetings, and IEP meetings. Interpreters can also assist during school activities such as parent-teacher organization (PTO) meetings, ELL nights, back to-school nights, graduation ceremonies, and more!

Language Line is an over-the-phone service that allows our multilingual families to communicate with their child’s school using their native language. 

Through Language Line, your child’s school can call an interpreter on the telephone. The school staff will dial the Language Line number and ask for the language required. You will then have to wait on hold until an interpreter is connected to you, usually 1-2 minutes. 

TalkingPoints is a two-way multilingual family engagement platform that allows staff to communicate with families across language barriers. The platform translates messages back and forth into over 100 languages, allowing for staff to be able to reach families in their preferred language, which in turn increases parent engagement in the classroom and school communities.
