May 16th, 2023

May 16 is World Education Support Personnel Day. Join us in celebrating the important role support staff hold within the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB). From the school office to the Director’s office, WRDSB support staff are vital members of our school communities and education teams, and key to student success.

Every day, WRDSB support staff ensure a safe, caring and welcoming environment for learning. They help to equip students with skills and a sense of community that supports them for future success.

WRDSB support staff are the glue that holds together the schools, departments and teams they support. They play an integral role in helping our students, staff, and community each and every day.

Get Involved

Today, and every day, we encourage you to share your appreciation with the support staff at your school – a kind word or thank you can go a long way.

If you want to share your gratitude on social media, be sure to use the hashtag #ESPday and tag @wrdsb on Twitter or @wr_dsb on Instagram.
