Requesting an Interpreter

Requesting an interpreter is submitted through AESOP through the building principal/secretary.

Phone Interpreter Services

LANGUAGE Link Interpretation Information attached. The service should only be used for unexpected/emergency calls. If your staff is planning on doing several calls that will need interpretations, say in an hour time, please submit a request through Frontline/AESOP for an interpreter. Using our in-house interpreters is more cost efficient. 

Requesting a Translation

Requests for translations (written) must be requested using this completed form, or alternatively sent via e-mail using the proper form to describe the job, to Jennifer Wolke, wolkej@danbury.k12.ct.us, at least one week in advance for routine material.  E-mail with attachments in original format (no pdfs) is necessary in order to facilitate the exchange of materials between the requesting school, Curriculum Resource Center, and the translator.

Emergency requests for translations will be considered on a case by case basis, depending upon the availability of a translator.
