Interpreters & Translations

Some of our families prefer to engage for communication in their home language, which may be different from English. The resources on this page can help you identify the best path to provide access to your students and their families.

BCSD Interpretation and Translation Services include access to Lexikeet, a Language Services Company that provides automated and multilingual intake, document translation, and on-demand interpretation and translation services. The videos included below explain how to use the Lexikeet services.

If Lexikeet is unable to meet your needs we have other services available. See the documents related to Non-Lexikeet Interpreters included on this page.

For further assistance you may communicate with the ENL teacher in your school or with the Supervisor of English as a New Language by email (laviles@bethlehemschools.org) or phone (518-439-4921 Ext. 22054)
