Did you know that today is IESW Appreciation Day?  728 is filled up with over 5000 members and many of them work directly with students in the classroom. The majority of these members are IESWs (formally EAs and ABAs).  IESWs, or Inclusive Education Support Workers, work alongside the classroom teacher, supporting children and adolescents with disabilities, diverse abilities, and educational support needs. As an IESW you become a crucial asset to the education system and play a key role in the success of these children and youth.

We thank each and every IESW, today and everyday!

Child care is a vital community service that supports healthy families and a healthy economy; and child care providers and qualified Early Childhood Educators are essential to providing quality and safe child care.  The creativity and enthusiasm shown by our ECEs foster meaningful connections with the youngest learners and their families.

Caring for children is the bedrock foundation for building strong communities and society as a whole. National Care for Kids Day on September 20 offers an opportunity for you to positively impact a child’s life in a variety of ways both large and small. That’s because we all know there are many ways to be a role model in a child’s life.  CUPE728 has amazing Supervision Aides that work each and every day in our schools. They ensure our students and staff are safe during the lunch hours and also help out with staff during the day. We thank our Supervision Aides for caring for the students in our schools
