Parents and guardians are expected to participate in their child's education by being informed and responsible for all CAJ expectations and communications (Board Policy 2.3.1.2.2). Families who wish to attend CAJ must be able to communicate clearly with the school and the teachers in English. For some families this means having a plan in place to translate English messages to and from the school. This is so we can better assist you with your child's education.
CAJ does translate some information into Japanese (and less commonly into Korean), but most materials are not translated. Some, but not most, events and meetings have translators provided. If neither parent is fluent in English, you will be asked to indicate your communication arrangements during the application process so that we can better help you and your child achieve your goals.
