The NYC Department of Education (DOE) outlines their communication strategy for families with limited English proficiency regarding remote learning through principals and superintendents, and by providing translated templates.
- Communication is conducted through principals and superintendents to directly reach families.
- Principals digest and superintendents digest are key tools utilized for communication.
- Translated templates in nine languages are provided to schools for wider accessibility.
- This approach is part of the DOE's efforts to ensure inclusivity and accessibility in its communications.
- Specific instances of implementing these communication strategies include the day before February 12th and past preparations for simulating activities.

So we we sort of from where we sit at Central, communicated through superintendents, through principals, to families in terms of our communications, and Kim, can you speak to that?
0:39:29
Kim is from our division of school leadership.
0:39:31
Sorry.

Good afternoon.

So we, as stated, we communicate through principles digest, which is it goes to all principles.
0:39:40
We also communicate through our superintendents digest, which goes to all superintendents for parents and families.
0:39:47
Whenever we're sending messaging, We will provide templates to schools that are translated in the 9 languages.
0:39:53
And so that is the way that we try to address families who have languages other than English.
0:39:58
So we rely on our schools, our messaging, our city wide messaging, and translated forms that we do provide.
0:40:05
We did that on the day before February 12th, and we also did that in the past when we are preparing to simulate activities.
