Our district is proud to have Interpretation and Translation Specialists who support families by providing communication in the language you understand and prefer. These specialists help interpret during meetings and translate important school information so families can stay informed and involved. They are also available to support you in communicating with your child's school.
You have the right to request and receive school communications in your preferred language. This is a request you can make at any time. Our district and schools are responsible for making sure language is never a barrier to you or to your child’s education. If you need interpretation or translated materials, please contact your school or reach out to the Translation Department at one of the numbers listed below—we are here to support you and value the voices of all our families.
The mission of the Randolph Public Schools Multilingual Education Department is to empower all multilingual students to excel both within and beyond the classroom. We are committed to offering the highest quality educational experiences in our schools by providing explicit language instruction and targeted supports to ensure equitable access to meaningful and rigorous learning opportunities that engage all students in cultivating essential knowledge and skills to prepare them to reach their fullest potential.
At the heart of the RPS Multilingual Education Department’s vision for student success is our belief that “Multilingualism is a superpower”. Thus, we strive to foster thriving learning environments in which all multilingual learners and their families have a sense of belonging and are known, respected and valued for the linguistic and cultural assets they bring to our community.
