Translation/Interpretation is an integral part of the District’s language effort to enhance communications with the parents and families of our students. We provide professional translation and interpretation services to the District’s schools and offices so that families and the community have equitable access to information and resources regarding their students' education.

Translation is the rendering of something written from one language to another. Interpretation is the oral rendition of something spoken from one language to another. We translate documents and interpret at meetings.

Complete a translation or interpretation request form and submit it, along with the document you wish to translate.

According to Board of Education policy, PUSD schools must provide translation services when 15 percent or more of the student population speaks a primary language other than English. The majority of PUSD schools meet the 15 percent threshold and we encourage all schools to make every effort to translate materials in order to engage non-English speaking families.

About 10 days. Turnaround times depend on the amount of text to be translated, complexity of language and current workload.

To obtain interpretation services, please complete request form and submit 15 days prior to the scheduled event.
