To Our Paraeducators...
You are a valuable member of our instructional team. You provide valuable assistance to students as they develop their skills, discover their abilities, and gain confidence in their competencies. You celebrate their successes and help them understand that their mistakes are learning opportunities. You provide the warmth, patience, and enthusiasm that your students will need to be persistent in the face of difficulties.
Enjoy each student and make every minute count. Have high expectations and teach your students the skills they need to exceed your expectations. Be thoughtful and ever mindful of the messages you send to your students and make sure your messages communicate a belief in their potential. Relish in the excellent days and accept the challenging days as opportunities. Thank you for choosing to become a paraeducator. Thank you for caring. Thank you for making a difference...one child at a time.
