Bilingual Services

What do Bilingual Specialists do?

Our Bilingual Specialist facilitate communication between staff and students, and serve as liaisons between home and school, assist in classrooms by explaining concepts in student's native language, provide tutoring, and offer cultural information to our schools. Their goal is to allow everyone in the room to have the same conversation, no matter the language.
