HAPPY PARAPROFESSIONAL DAY!
Today is a day that we acknowledge our BK Paras for all their hard work, dedication and love they have for our students AND staff. Our Paras work hand in hand with our teachers, other support staff and administration to support ALL students. Today, we celebrate all of you!

Paraprofessional Appreciation Day honors paraprofessional educators, who may also be known as paraeducators, instructional assistants, or teacher aides. Paraprofessionals perform a variety of teaching-related jobs and often assist teachers in classrooms.
Paras may work with students on supplemental enrichment activities, either in small groups or one-on-one. They may also help students complete assignments or practice reading. Paraprofessionals often work with students with special education needs and a variety of disabilities. They may also supervise students outside of classrooms and help teachers with clerical work.
Paraprofessionals work tirelessly each day to support students and teachers, so today we honor them for their service. Paraprofessional Appreciation Day is observed annually on the first Wednesday of April.
