March
2-6 is Classified Employee Week. This week, we are honoring and
recognizing the dedicated support staff who serve our students, schools
and district.
Classified employees are the “backbone” of the public school system,
providing support and working directly with students, staff, parents,
volunteers, business partners and community members.
Classified employees are secretaries, educational assistants, food
service workers, custodians, maintenance workers, bus drivers and more.
Thank you, classified staff!
