Culturally sensitive relationships with families. Securing translators for conferences. Providing translated communications when possible.

Systems to inform, involve and collaborate with families to share student progress and success. Each one of you was easy to work with and communicated with us so well. We cannot begin to thank you enough. Without each of you caring so much to make a difference, Justin would not be in the position he is now. He is brimming with confidence and even talks about going to college (great for him, bad on our check book)! Because of your efforts our son is who he is today. I don’t know what’s going on, but I will find out.  Again, thanks for getting right on it! Any thoughts, input, or observations on your part are most welcome.  Thanks for caring about our kid, Nan
