Your Right to Language Support

You have the right to receive information about your child’s education in a language you understand.

When your child starts school, you will be asked what language you prefer for school communication. This helps the school provide free interpreters and translated documents when needed.

Your school will provide important information and opportunities in your preferred language. This may include interpreters for meetings and translated documents.

You have these rights even if you speak some English or if your child speaks or reads English.
