Language Access Plan

The Federal Way Public Schools Language Access Plan affirms the district's strategic plan and Pillar Two, belief and value of strong family partnerships. The FWPS Language Access Plan is a guidance tool for staff members to use to strengthen family partnerships. 

Schools must communicate with all parents and guardians in a language they can understand. This includes notifying parents/guardians whose primary language of communication is not English or who have limited proficiency in English about all programs, services, and activities that are called to the attention of other parents and guardians, in a language they can understand. The Language Access Plan helps ensure that FWPS provides high quality and appropriate language services to parents and guardians. The guide provides the resources staff members need to engage with limited English proficient parents and guardians.
