Testimonials

Anne’s work has significantly streamlined our processes, allowing us to focus more on meaningful interactions and less on logistical challenges. With her support, we can redirect our time and energy towards fostering a truly inclusive and supportive learning environment for all students.
- Lauren P, Director of Communications & Marketing

Anne’s dedication to equity and inclusion for ELL families is unparalleled. Anne spearheaded the implementation of the district’s interpreter phone system, ensuring seamless communication between schools and ELL families. She conducted comprehensive trainings at the beginning of each school year and meticulously tracked the volume of calls made by each school, fostering a culture of proactive outreach and engagement with ELL families among teachers. Anne was instrumental in fostering meaningful relationships that endure to this day.
- Becca R, EL Teacher

Through Anne’s guidance and collaboration, we were able to create major systemic change. We created an atmosphere where multilingual families are empowered partners with their children’s school and where it is everyone’s charge to ensure every family receives consistent communication in their native language.
Anne is an amazing facilitator of staff development! Our staff were intimidated and fearful of making the wrong mistake when communicating with families. Anne developed and implemented a multistage professional development trackfor staff that allowed them to practice all components of utilizing translation services with families. Staff felt empowered to call families regularly and schedule meetings using interpretation; thus removing perceived barriers to consistent family communications.
- Briana G, Assistant Principal
