In Other WordsImportant information put In Other Words.

In Other Words is a television show produced by Fairfax County Public Schools primarily for adult residents of Fairfax County–especially parents–who want more information about their schools but have limited English skills. The show is written in English, and then produced in five other languages: Arabic, Farsi, Korean, Spanish, and Vietnamese. In Other Words encourages residents still learning English to take an active role in Fairfax County Public Schools and, inspires parents to participate in their child’s education. Topics include transportation, student achievement, volunteerism, testing, graduation requirements, registration dates, and more.

In Other Words airs on Red Apple cable channel 21 every day at 5:30 p.m. Each of the five languages has regular weekly airdates:

Sundays-Farsi
Mondays–Arabic
Wednesdays–Spanish
Fridays–Korean
Saturdays-Vietnamese

In Other Words is produced by the Department of Information Technology, with support from the Office of Community Relations, the Departments of Instructional Services and Special Services and franchise funds from Cox Communications.
