Diego deAssis, FOUNDER
Our Story, Our Goal, Our Mission!
After arriving in the U.S. as a child speaking no English whatsoever, Diego DeAssis experienced first-hand the barriers and strongholds brought forth by the lack of communication between the School District and his Portuguese speaking family. Despite the school's efforts to promote parent involvement, the language barrier resulted in the lack of communication and missed opportunities in school sports and extracurricular activities. Without a liaison between the two parties, Diego's academic success relied solely in his hands.
Upon overcoming the many obstacles that accompany students of a foreign home language, Diego completed secondary school and continued on to college while working at a variety of jobs which gave him invaluable experience. His continued commitment to helping non-English speaking families jump-started his career as a public employee, where he worked as an Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent of a large public school district with a Hispanic student population of over 57%. Being fluent in English, Portuguese and Spanish, Diego came across a disturbing number of poor quality translations from surrounding districts and realized the need for accurate and reliable translation services.
Honoring his background, language skills, and professional experience, Diego shifted his focus and qualifications to form K12 Translators in order to give every school district the ability to accurately communicate with non-English speaking families.
Our Goal
We strive to see school districts achieve the best level of communication at all levels. Our goal is to assist in the language needs of your school community in order to ensure the academic success of every student.
Our Mission
At K12 Translators our mission is to bring schools and communities closer together by bridging the gap between school personnel and parents in the community. We hope you can partner with us in order to make strides towards our goal!
