Welcome to Kindergarten at Rosedale Elementary School! My name is Tracy Weakley and I am looking forward to learning and growing with your child this year as their kindergarten teacher. This will be an exciting time for you as your child begins their official journey to becoming a life-long learner. My goals are to spend time encouraging positive social interactions among the students, help them to become more independent during the school year, and nurture a classroom of respectful and caring children along with meeting the expectations of the Kindergarten curriculum. This will also be a year of tremendous academic growth.  Your child will blossom into an early reader and writer in addition to building many math skills.  We will also explore several topics in science and social studies. I enjoy having fun in the classroom, but also know the importance of creating a structured and organized learning environment.

On a personal note, I have been married to my wonderful husband, Ryan for 12 years.  I have 2 beautiful children – Ava who is 8 and Wyatt who is 5.  I have been working in Livonia Public School District for 27 years.  At the age of 16 I began working in the S.A.C.C. program for 11 years, taught GSRP for four years, taught special education pre-school for four years, and have been at Rosedale for the last 8 years.  I feel very fortunate to be here with my Rosedale “family” teaching Kindergarten again this year.
