INTERPRETERS

HCS has certified interpreters who assist with communication at school meetings, parent-teacher conferences and at other school functions when appropriate. Interpreting services should be arranged through the local schools. Additionally, all schools and district offices have access to Language Line which provides interpretation in over 240 languages to assist speakers of other languages.

Our office will schedule a certified, professional interpreter to assist during parent/teacher conferences, SST, IEP, retention meetings, school and district events, disciplinary hearings, Title I and Title III events as well as any event open to the HCS community. We will also make phone calls to parents and record robocalls upon approval of the district.

Guidelines

*Allow 5 days to schedule an interpreter. Should you need immediate assistance in another language, please call (770) 957-3945 EXT. 04121.

*If applicable, flyers and invitations should be sent home in Spanish (or other languages) before requesting an interpreter.
