ESP Day: Keeping students safe and ready to learn
On the third day of American Education Week we honor the Education Support Professionals who help create a positive learning environment and work tirelessly to keep our students safe, healthy and ready to excel.
ESPs often fly under the radar, making sure our schools run smoothly while touching the lives of students every day. Today is about thanking our ESPs for their work and raising awareness about their vital role in our school communities.
