Helping students feel at home starts in the classroom and extends into the community. 💙
Settlement Workers in Schools (SWIS) support newcomer students and their families as they adjust to a new school system, build connections, and navigate life in a new community.
Whether it's helping families understand how schools operate, providing translation support, connecting them with community resources, or encouraging involvement in school life, SWIS Workers help make the transition smoother and more welcoming for students and their families.
By building bridges between home, school, and community, SWIS Workers help newcomer students feel supported, included, and set up for success both inside and outside the classroom.
Thank you to our SWIS team for helping newcomer students and families feel connected, confident, and welcomed every step of the way. 💙
