School / Parent Liaison: Supporting Spanish-speaking Families

We empower schools to build strong, inclusive, and equitable relationships with their Spanish-speaking families through expert language support.

The Problem: When Language Barriers Cost Trust

In today's diverse educational communities, relying on generalized translation services or using staff/family members as interpreters often leads to significant, costly problems:

• Loss of Educational Nuance: Interpreters without specific training in educational terminology (e.g., special education, SEL, assessment language) miscommunicate critical information to parents.

• Ethical and Confidentiality Risks: Using students or bilingual staff members for interpretation breaches privacy and places undue stress on non-professional interpreters.

• Wasted Time and Resources: Misunderstandings lead to frustrating follow-up calls, confusion in paperwork, and a breakdown in trust between the school and the family.

The Solution: Professional, Culturally Competent Liaison

We provide a specialized solution that transcends simple word-for-word translation. Our service is led by an expert with a MAT in Spanish and deep fluency in educational systems, ensuring clarity and cultural competency.

We act as a trusted, professional liaison, providing expertise in two key areas:

• In-Person Interpretation: Seamless, confidential interpretation for all critical school-parent meetings, including IEP meetings, disciplinary conferences, and parent-teacher check-ins.

• Remote Liaison Support: Rapid, confidential translation of non-formal documents, emails, and urgent communications, enabling your staff to engage with families in real-time.

Why Our Approach Works (For Administrators)

Choosing our specialized liaison service is a strategic investment in equity, compliance, and community building:

• Precision and Compliance: We guarantee the correct use of educational terminology during all conversations, ensuring parents receive accurate information.

• Expert Neutrality: We maintain strict professional boundaries, ensuring a neutral, supportive environment for communication that promotes trust between the family and the school.

• Cultural Bridge: We understand the nuances of educational expectations across different cultures, helping prevent simple miscommunications from escalating into larger conflicts.

The Outcome: Your school achieves unquestionable equity and clarity in communication, demonstrating respect and appreciation for your Spanish-speaking families, which leads to stronger parental engagement and support for student success.
