The electronic translation service is hosted by Google Translate. The quality of the translation will vary in some of the languages offered by Google. Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 50 languages, although an impressive number, this does not capture all languages or dialects. The basic translation’s goal is to capture the general intention of the original English material.
The Vancouver School Board does not guarantee the quality, accuracy or completeness of any translated information. Before you act on translated information, the Division encourages you to confirm any facts that are important to you and affect any decisions you may make.
The Vancouver School Board is committed to parent, family and community engagement, and it is our hope that by providing this tool on our website that we are making our information more accessible to families whose first language is not English and thereby enabling better engagement in public education.
Unfortunately, we are not where we would like to be in terms of managing the pandemic and keeping everyone feeling safe, therefore again for this school year, we are not doing in person book fairs.
However, if you are wanting to purchase books, you may do so online here and 20% will be given back to the school library using the teacher code provided.
Hopefully we will see you next year at a book fair, which is often a highlight for students.
