FCPS Translation for Conferences and Meetings

As parents, we want to make sure we’re doing everything we can to support our kids and understand what they need to excel in the classroom. Communicating with teachers and school personnel who don’t speak our language can be a challenge, but did you know that FCPS offers interpretation services for parent-teacher conferences and other meetings?

FCPS teachers and other school personnel can call interpreters through a service called United Language Group to translate during parent-teacher conferences. Please ask your student’s teacher or contact McLean in advance to let them know you’d like to use the service. FCPS also has phone lines available, in multiple languages, where you can call for help: https://www.fcps.edu/services/families-and-caregivers/family-info-phone-lines. Finally, you can also ask questions, including about interpreter availability, using this link: https://www.fcps.edu/submit-language-services-interpretations-question.
