Milford Public Schools Translation and Interpretation Department
Our Vision
Milford Public Schools' Translation and Interpretation Department's mission is to provide effective interpretation and translation services to facilitate two-way communication among Milford Public School staff, families, and community members. In order to ensure access to all aspects of our students' lives and education, we foster relationships and facilitate communication between fluent English speakers/readers and individuals fluent in a language other than oral/written English (i.e. first language not English, hard of hearing, or non-literate). As language advocates, we strive to provide the best translation and interpretation services for the continued development of our family-school partnerships.
