encouraged to request translation and interpretation services
for meetings where a language other than English is needed for
communication.
How do I request an
interpreter?

Language Service Request Form and fax the form to
678-331-3964. Parents may request phone services directly
by calling the IWC at 678-331-3086. If unable to download
the Language Service Request Form, please try by using Mozilla
Firefox and if that does not work, please call the IWC at
678.331.3086 to have a blank form emailed to you.
How do I submit a request
form for translation or interpretation?
You will receive an
official confirmation email with a Tracking Number for your
records, the Thursday/Friday of the week before your actual
assignment.
How can you help me
communicate with schools if I do not speak English?
The International Welcome Center manages a network of
professionally trained interpreters who travel to local schools
and CCSD events to provide interpretation in several languages:
Spanish, French, Portuguese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic,Vietnamese
and other languages as needed.

encouraged to request translation and interpretation services
for parent/teacher conferences, IEP's, RTI's, 504's, student
evaluations and any other meeting where a language other than
English is needed for communication.
What other language
specific services does the International Welcome Center
provide?

district-level documents into languages that can be understood
by parents and other community stakeholders.
