How to Get Interpretation Services at Your School

Shoreline School District is committed to ensuring that every family, regardless of the language they speak, has meaningful access to communication and engagement in their child’s education.

Below are some of the most common ways that family members and visitors can receive information in their language of preference.

On the Phone

You can call your child’s school office and simply say "interpreter" and state your language of preference.

At School Offices

School office staff are trained to use interpretation tools to help facilitate conversations in the language of your choice. Each school office displays a sign you can point to in order to identify your language:

Our Websites

All district and school websites can be translated into several languages by selecting your preferred language in the lower right corner of the page, as shown here:

ParentSquare

You can set your language preference to view posts and receive notifications in the language you have selected. If you message within ParentSquare or reply to a direct message via text in your preferred language, the staff member receiving your communication will see it in English, and their replies to you will be translated into your language.

Here is what it looks like to select your language in the ParentSquare app:
