All About Mrs. Michaud:

​

     Howdy! My name is Mrs. Michaud and I will be your child's teacher this year. This is my 23rd year teaching, during which I have taught in the  Junior and Intermediate divisions. My passion for education revolves around teaching students to be successful using leadership skills and self-advocation. I pride myself on being a positive role model for all students in the building by keeping up to date with best teaching practices.

     Outside of school, I enjoy the outdoors, travelling, listening to music, and spending time with my family. I have two boys; a 17-year-old, who is a lifeguard, enjoys being active, and actually loves school, and an 13-year-old who is outgoing, silly and a complete sweetheart. My husband is also in education and enjoys cooking fancy meals for our family.

   In my spare time, I'm an avid reader. I set challenge myself every year to read at least 52 novels and usually succeed or come very close.  I also enjoy being active, though Netflix frequently wins out.  I enjoy swimming, wakesurfing and volleyball.

  For parents, guardians and students curious about the purpose and importance of peer and self evaluation, as well as group work, please check out the "Growing Success" document:

​

Please be advised, I always evaluate the work when students do peer and self evaluations as well, whether it is written, oral or otherwise (ex. The Arts).
