The Settlement Workers in Schools (SWIS) program provides settlement support and services for immigrants, refugees and newcomers, with a focus on the Ï㽶ֱ²¥ school system.

After registering with our district, a settlement worker will contact newcomer families to help the student(s) and family adjust to school(s) and their new Ï㽶ֱ²¥ community.Ìý

Our team helps newcomer families to build connections and provide support and guidance to independently access services and resources within Ï㽶ֱ²¥ schools.

Our team of settlement workers provide services in a variety of ways:

• One-to-one and family orientations
• Online and in-person information workshops
• Referrals and connections to community resources
• Community connection activitiesÌýand experiences
