Language Support Services

RPS helps bridge the communication gap between RPS and linguistically diverse parents by providing translation (written) and interpretation (oral) support to RPS schools and departments. Every reasonable effort will be made to provide needed services and support to the children and parents who do not understand, speak, or read English.
