Translation & Interpretation

Welcome!

The Office of Translation & Interpretation provides language support to assist in the communication of academic information between schools and parents to increase engagement in school activities and district-wide functions. This full range of language services are designed to help in AISD’s mission of providing a comprehensive educational experience to prepare our students for college, career and life. 

We offer a variety of translation & interpretation services that ensure meaningful language access for students and parents so they may have an active role in the student’s education. Please note that these services can only be requested by AISD staff. Families should contact their school's front office to have them make the request.
