Dear Contra Costa County Community,
Today, we have the opportunity to celebrate and thank the folks who are the backbone of many classrooms in this county. Paraprofessionals make invaluable contributions to the learning environment and make education accessible for many students. On this Paraprofessional Appreciation Day, I extend my heartfelt appreciation to each and every one of you who tirelessly dedicate yourselves to supporting our students and educators in Contra Costa County.
Paraprofessionals play a crucial role in our educational ecosystem. Whether it's providing one-on-one assistance to students with special needs, assisting teachers in the classroom, or helping to create a positive and inclusive learning environment, your unwavering commitment and dedication do not go unnoticed.
Your role is essential, and you embody the spirit of collaboration and service. Your compassion, patience, and dedication make a significant difference in the lives of our students, helping them to reach their fullest potential. Your impact extends far beyond the classroom, shaping the future of our community.
Thank you for all that you do, today and every day.
With gratitude,
Lynn Mackey
Contra Costa County Superintendent of Schools
