Our translation services are designed to assist parents, students, and staff in overcoming language barriers to ensure that every student has the opportunity to succeed. Lamar Consolidated Independent School district offers Spanish language translation through the Communication Department to help district campuses, departments, employees, students, and families support. 

Note: To meet translation and interpretation needs that exceed the district’s in-house capacity, Lamar CISD works with external translation and interpretation service providers that may be contacted directly by the school administrator and/ or departments to secure the necessary resources.
