When Every Voice Is Heard, Every Learner Can Thrive.

Language Justice is the intersection between social justice and language access.  In an educational setting, like Richmond Public Schools, this means we do more than just provide translation or interpretation services.  We value and celebrate all languages and cultures in our school communities and we strive to create welcoming and inclusive school environments for students and families. We do this by providing families with access to interpreters and translated documents so they may make informed decisions about their education.  It also means that the translators and interpreters used by the division are properly trained in translation and interpretation techniques as well as cultural competence.

Richmond Public Schools is unwavering in its commitment to language justice and ensuring that every student and family feels valued, heard, and empowered. We recognize that our community is enriched by the diversity of languages and cultures that our students and families bring.

Update for 2026

The Language Justice Team switched platforms for video interpretation so previous logins are no longer active.  Instead, please use this spreadsheet to locate your school's new email and password.  You may still access a video interpreter using the Syncroz website.
