Our 2026 Classified School Employees Week (CEW) theme is “Paving Pathways to Student Success.” It’s time to celebrate the hardest working crew in education!

The journey from pre-K through high school graduation is a long one, and every student will face roadblocks. Fortunately, Oregon’s classified school employees are there to pave the way.

Every caring adult who supports a child’s education is a brick in the pathway to success. Classified school employees do many kinds of essential work: we clean it, cook it, drive it, paint it, file it, coach it, schedule it, type it and more. When it comes to helping Oregon students thrive, classified work around the clock to get the job done.

Join OSEA in tipping our hardhats to these dedicated educators during CEW, March 2-6, 2026!

The theme for CEW was submitted by Anya Janik of Beaverton Chapter 48.
