Did you know Blue Star Secondary School offers language services for families whose home language is not English? These services can be accessed in a variety of ways at no cost to families:

  • By calling or emailing the school, teacher, school leader or district office
  • Through district mailings, Synergy email, ParentSquare, notices, and the district website
  • Leaving a voicemail message on the district’s designated language hotline, 253-945-2198.
  • Schools and the district office offer live interpreter services through a language services provider

If you have any questions about language access, please contact the Multilingual Services Department at 253-945-2094.

For any questions or concerns, you may also reach out to the Civil Rights Compliance Officer at compliance@BSS.org.
