How to Request Interpretation and Translation Services
At Somerville Public Schools, we value our multilingual learners and families. To partner effectively with families who have limited English proficiency, we offer both interpretation and translation services.
- Interpretation is verbal communication. We offer interpretation services for Parent Teacher Conferences, 504 meetings, and school or district-wide events.
- Translation is written communication. We offer translation services for documents that will help information become more accessible for families.
Families
SPS Family members who want to request interpretation services, please reach out to the Family & Community Liaison at your child's school. Your liaison will make a request on your behalf. For a list of liaisons at each school, click here.
