The Many Ways Education Workers Ensure Our Children’s Schools are Safe, Healthy and Well-maintained

Education workers include caretakers, office staff, education assistants and lunchroom supervisors – all of whom play important roles in ensuring our children’s schools are safe, healthy, and well-maintained:

  • They clean washrooms, door handles, water fountains, lunchrooms, desks, floors, stairs
  • They conduct much of the operational maintenance in schools
  • They conduct safe water checks for our children’s drinking water
  • They run safe arrival programs
  • They provide supervision and support for students with special needs
  • They provide educational support in full-day kindergarten classrooms
  • They supervise our children during lunch

Just to name a few of the important things education workers do in our children’s schools. Next time you see an education worker, please say thank  you!
