Hello Fellow Classified Employee's and guests Robert Parrish's celebration of Life will be January 25th at the bowling alley in the banquet room 2:00pm to 4:00pm. Please find time to donate to the family go-fund-me page @ https://gofund.me/901a000c On this special day set aside to recognize the essential work of our school district’s support personnel, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for your unwavering dedication and tireless contributions. From fixing the lights to cleaning the bathrooms, to greeting students by name at the front desk, to handling the daily challenges in Intensive Resource classrooms—your commitment to our children is evident. Whether it’s navigating difficult situations or facing the realities of physically demanding tasks, you show up every day with a sense of purpose and care, making a lasting impact on our students’ lives. However, it is important to acknowledge the challenges that many of my members face in their day-to-day roles. For instance, I could share a photo album of injuries sustained by my team members in the RISE, BSP, Aspire, and IR classrooms, places where extra pay is provided to teachers, but education support professionals are left without similar compensation for the heavy toll their work demands. These classrooms have become high-turnover environments for support personnel, and the lack of additional compensation only adds to the strain. It is my hope that the new school board will address these inequities. Up until now, I have encountered significant resistance, but the time has come for change. My members deserve recognition, not only for their dedication but for the difficult and often dangerous work they do to support our most vulnerable students. Let us work together to create a more equitable and supportive environment for all our staff, ensuring that those who go above and beyond are given the recognition and resources they truly deserve. Thank you again for all you do. Your efforts do not go unnoticed. November Activities:
