The Ossining School District is seeking volunteers who are bilingual in English and Spanish, as well as other languages, and would be willing to serve as interpreters during parent-teacher conferences, parent engagement nights, college fairs and other events.
“We are dedicated to ensuring that all members of our diverse community have equal access to information and can fully participate in the educational life of their children,” said Ferzeen Shamsi, Claremont School assistant principal.
