Thank you for taking the time to visit my teacher page. My name is Janice Rakoczy and, after being a Gateway Pointe Gator for the past 5 years, I am very excited to be joining the amazing team at Cortina Elementary School this year!
I have lived in Arizona with my husband and son for 12 years. I am originally from California and I also lived in Canada for many years...you may detect a slight accent!!
I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada. I earned a Master's Degree in Education at Arizona State University and am certified in both Elementary and Special Education. This will be my 8th year of teaching and I am very passionate about being a Resource teacher in Special Education.
I look forward to working with you and your child this year! Please feel welcome to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
