District Goal: WE empower all students to achieve post-high school success.
March 4-8, 2019 is Classified School Employee Appreciation Week throughout the state of Oregon, so please take this opportunity to recognize our dedicated support staff working in the Beaverton School District.
The District is fortunate to have nearly 1,900 classified employees working to help create an outstanding learning environment for all students. They are our bus drivers, custodians, instructional assistants, nutrition services personnel, maintenance personnel, secretaries, and
other support staff who, without their support, effective instruction and learning would be impossible.
"I encourage the entire community to join me in celebrating our amazing staff members who commit to providing the best educational experience for our students. Classified staff deserve our gratitude and appreciation not only this week, but all year long for their important contributions to our community. The work of our classified employees enable teachers to focus on teaching and learning. Without the dedication of our support staff, our schools and departments could not function properly. It takes all employees working together to educate our students. Classified employees are integral to providing a strong education for our students every day." states Ronda Haun Administrator for Classified Personnel.
On a daily basis, one can witness our support staff performing a multitude of duties with dedication and commitment. Thank you, classified staff, for all you do for the Beaverton School District every day!
School Social Work Week 2019 sponsored by the School Social Work Association of America (SSWAA), is March 3-9, 2019. With the theme "Lucky Enough!,” school social workers across the county will highlight their critically important role in helping students every day to meet the academic, social, and emotional challenges on the road to becoming successful and productive young adults.
“Beaverton School District Social Workers wear many hats in their efforts to support students and families in our community. The District’s social workers do an amazing job juggling multiple schools and responsibilities, including evening home visits with working parents, planning and delivering quality mental health professional development, and responding to crises throughout the District. In addition, several schools have social workers on staff who provide counseling, consultation and other intervention services,” says Todd Nicholson, Administrator for Special Programs. “All of our social workers are truly an asset to students and families throughout the District and I am so thankful for their dedication and hard work.”
Please take a moment to thank a school Social Worker.
