We may want to consider also taking a stance on exactly what is on the school's website and the quality of website translations (not using google translate or similar)

All schools should then automatically initiate their plan for providing translated communications and interpretation in meetings/calls with that family ALWAYS. 
All schools should have a standard process for requesting translations and interpretations that all staff know about and are familiar with. Staff should also know it is an expectation they will submit these requests whenever communicating with a emergent bilingual family.
It also should be made CLEAR AND APPARENT to families how to request translation and interpretation services whenever needed. (on website in multiple language would be great)
