We're celebrating Paraprofessional Appreciation Day this week! We are grateful for their hard work, commitment to and compassion for the children in our district. Some students require the supplementary support of a paraprofessional, which is written into their Individualized Education Program or Section 504 Plan.

So, the next time you see a para, be sure to say THANK YOU!
Ramadan is 3/22 - 4/21
