1st Grade

My name is Melissa Iverson, and I am excited to be a first-grade PACE teacher! I graduated from Western Washington University with a major in Special Education and my teaching certificate. I also hold a master’s degree in Elementary Mathematics, and I am dual-endorsed to teach both general and special education. Before teaching, I worked as a paraeducator in learning centers, FSA classrooms, and sensory room settings.

 

I have four amazing children. My three oldest children have graduated, and my youngest is currently attending Bothell High School. I also share my home with two cats named Nobody Owens and Nancy. In my free time, I love hiking in the beautiful Pacific Northwest and traveling whenever I can. I enjoy Taylor Swift, houseplants, trail running, sipping coffee, and collecting more books than I could ever read.

 

As a parent in the Northshore district, I understand the importance of communication. I am passionate about meeting students at their individual levels and addressing their unique needs. I truly value the partnership between home and school, which is why PACE has been a great fit for me as a teacher! Cheers to a great school year and go leopards!
