The Settlement Worker in Schools (SWIS) program helps newcomer students and their families integrate into the school system and community. SWIS workers provide direct support by connecting students to school programs, after-school activities, and community resources while helping parents navigate the education system and Canadian culture. They also assist teachers and school staff in fostering inclusive and culturally responsive learning environments. By being present in schools, SWIS ensures that newcomer families receive the guidance and resources needed for a smooth transition and successful settlement in their new communities.
