Family App Workshop Series for Multilingual Families

Family App Workshop Series for Multilingual Families 

The Puyallup School District’s MLL Department is offering a Family App Workshop Series to help multilingual families learn how to access and use district apps with confidence. 

These workshops are designed for families who may need language support when using school communication tools and digital resources, especially families who are new to the U.S. education system. Each session will include a brief presentation, hands-on practice, and individual support in families’ preferred languages when available. 

Families will learn how to use commonly used district tools such as ParentSquare, Schoology, Focus, StopFinder, EZSchoolPay, and other student and family applications. Staff, interpreters, and language access team members will be available to answer questions, provide support, and connect families with additional assistance if needed. 

Families are encouraged to bring their own smartphone, tablet, or laptop. District Wi-Fi, digital resources, worksheets, language support, and light snacks will be provided.
