If you need assistance communicating with school we have translators available.
Reach out to your child's teacher, ESL teacher or an administrator and we will do our best to secure an interpreter in your language or someone to translate documents.
Talking Points is Bernards Townships method of helping non-native English speaking families communicate with school.
Your child's teachers will send you a text in your own langauge early in the year. You can use that to respond in your own language and it will automatically translate back for you.
