Hello!  Thanks for stopping by!  My name is Melissa Rooney and I am one of the 2nd grade teachers here at Picnic Point Elementary.  This is my third year of teaching at Picnic Point and I absolutely love this school and this community!  I've been a Washington state certificated teacher since 2016.  Previous to elementary school teaching, I taught as a Paraeducator for the Shoreline Public Schools and as a Pre-Kindergarten teacher at a private school.  Earlier in my career, I have worked in the business world as well as for a non-profit agency serving runaway and homeless youth.

My credentials include a Masters in Teaching from Seattle University and a Bachelors in Social Work from the University of Washington.

On a personal note, I am the proud mom of a 16-year-old son and a 1-year-old Golden Retriever!  I'm also married to a wonderful man, my best friend Dan.  We love to hike, bike, and travel when we can.  We enjoy taking photos of the beautiful places we visit.

I am truly honored and so thankful to serve the families of the Mukilteo School District as an elementary school teacher.
