Recognizing the vital contributions of paraprofessionals in education is essential. They often play a multifaceted role in supporting both students and teachers, contributing significantly to the overall functioning of schools. Paraprofessional Appreciation Day serves as an opportunity to acknowledge their hard work, dedication, and positive impact they have on the educational experience of students. We appreciate them all year long! Happy Paraprofessional Appreciation Day to all of our AMAZING VVISD Paraprofessionals!
