On National Education Support Professionals Day, Nov. 20, we recognize the school support professionals who play a huge part in fostering student engagement every day. These roles include paraprofessionals who provide one-on-one support, cafeteria workers who create warm, welcoming spaces for meals, IT specialists who enable tech-driven learning, and administrative staff who help each day run smoothly. These staff members help our students feel connected and ready to learn. They’re often the trusted adults who inspire students to attend regularly and engage with their learning.
