Ms. Iverson
4th Grade PACE
OUR FOURTH GRADE PACE TEACHER
My name is Melissa Iverson and I am very excited to be working with the PACE team! A little bit about me, I graduated from Western Washington University with my teaching certificate and a major in Special Education in March of 2019. When Covid-19 hit, I went back to school to get a master’s in Elementary Mathematics. Currently, I am working on getting an endorsement in special education.
I’ve worked in many schools throughout the district as a paraeducator as well as a classroom teacher. This is my sixth year working in Northshore School District, and my third year as a classroom teacher. I have done long term substitute positions in kindergarten, first grade, sensory, and learning centers.
I have four wonderful children. My daughter, Addie, graduated from Bothell High School in 2021 and attends Cascadia College right now. She is currently working as a behavior therapist while getting her AA. Logan is a senior and Nora is a sophomore. They are both at Bothell High. My youngest , Wyatt, is in 8th grade at Kenmore Middle School. I have one grumpy cat named Nancy, over a hundred indoor plants, two leopard geckos, and fish. It’s a very busy, happy home! In my free time I love to hike the beautiful Pacific Northwest and travel as much as possible. I love coffee, curry, and books.
