School counselors play a critical role in creating a welcoming climate towards these students in the school environment. The purpose of this study is to learn about the perceptions of school counselors' partnerships with linguistically diverse families (LDF). In the study, qualitative research design was adopted to shed light on how to build partnerships that integrate the school and community. The data were collected from eight volunteer school counselors from the United States, using an open-ended online interview form which was developed by the researcher. The data were analyzed via thematic content analysis, one of the qualitative analysis methods. The results revealed that there were four distinct factors that tapped into shaping school counselors' perceptions in building partnerships with LDF. These factors were; a) school counselor related factors; b) school related factors; c) school counselor perception on issues about LDS related factors and d) school counselor perception on issues about LDF related factors.
