The Office of English Learners has secured a new on-demand telephone interpretation service for you to use as needed during parent-teacher conferences. Lionbridge is ready and set up to provide telephonic interpretation services in over 350 different languages.
We recommend strategically using in-person translators for parent meetings whenever possible, since in-person translation is generally more effective than telephone translation. We hope that this new telephone service will allow you to better partner with families in their preferred language.
If you have any questions regarding the telephone interpretation service, please reach out to John.Kavanagh@ppsd.org
