Translation Committee
The translation team translates the newsletter and other documents into written Chinese. Translation into other languages could be possible only if we have volunteers. The PA is currently in the initial stages of forming additional teams for both written and spoken translation in several languages. If you are a fluent speaker and/or writer in Spanish, Russian, Chinese, or other languages, and are interested in leading or serving on a team, please reach out to our PA at papresident@bths.edu
Group Chat Administrators oversee each of our social media group chats (e.g., WhatsApp, WeChat), verifying that all requests come from individuals affiliated with the Brooklyn Tech High School community. Access is granted exclusively to parents or members connected to BTHS. Administrators also help ensure that conversations remain respectful and aligned with group chat guidelines.
No prior experience is necessary—just a basic familiarity with platforms like WhatsApp or WeChat and an interest in supporting this effort. If you’d like to join this team, please reach out to our PA Presidents atpapresident@bths.edu.
