Delivering World Class Education Today for the Global Leaders of Tomorrow.
Superintendent's Message
During the first week of April, each year, we celebrate the Paraeducator Appreciation Day. Each one of our schools rely on the dedication, support and expertise of our Paraeducators to provide our students access to the best education.
Our Paraeducators are an integral part of the classroom support team and we appreciate their contributions to student learning and social-emotional well-being.
Please join me in celebrating our Paraeducators today and every day of the year!!
Sincerely,
Marco
