Spanish Translations and Interpretations during Distance Learning

Do you need a Spanish interpreter during Distance Learning?

During this shift in our current work day operations, I'd like to remind all of our Barrington 220 staff that we have a process in place for those who may be in need of Spanish document translations or telephone/Zoom meeting/event interpretations.

As a part of coordinating technology and innovation within Barrington 220, we have made it easy to schedule all of your translating needs through a simple Google Form. The updated form can be accessed by either clicking here or by visiting the Barrington 220 website, clicking the Staff tab (login required), and clicking the Translation Request link.

The form allows us to receive and confirm appointment requests, as well as manage uploads of documents that you need translated into Spanish. This simple and effective process allows the translating team here at Barrington 220 to collaborate much more efficiently when it comes to meeting and/or document requests across the district.

We ask that you keep the following in mind before submitting your request:

• Please allow a minimum of 5–10 business days for written translation requests to be returned.
• Please submit your meeting interpreter request 15 days in advance (minimum) in order to secure an interpreter. 
• Please note: It is likely that last-minute meeting requests will not be accommodated.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me, Hector Ontiveros, at hontiveros@barrington220.org or 847.842.3561.

Our translating team is happy to provide assistance during these unprecedented times, so please send those timely requests!
