Non-English Speaking Parents

From Kathy Sheehy, a speech pathologist in kindergarten through fifth grade at Del Prado Elementary School in Boca Raton, Florida:

ìTo communicate with parents who don't speak English and are not literate in their language, I ask our school's ESOL Facilitator for that language to record my message on a cassette to send home. The parent can listen, then record a response, call the school and speak to me (with the facilitator interpreting), or ask an English speaking/writing relative or friend to write a note.î
