FACES & Interpreters
FACES serve as a liaison to help families navigate the school system and connect with school staff and resources. They assist families with general information and daily school tasks, which can involve arranging and conducting home visits or participating in school meetings. Our FACES provide interpretation and translation services as needed to ensure clear communication with diverse families, and help to foster a better understanding between cultural and ethnic groups in the community. They are proactive in engaging parents and community members through workshops, meetings, and events to provide leadership skills and help improve student academics. Furthermore, our FACES provide strategies to sustain parent engagement and improve student performance, aligning their work with the district's goals in areas like teaching, learning, and student achievement.
