\"TraceyMeet Tracey Joyce, who will be our new PreK-12 academic technology integrationist. Tracey comes to us from Visitation School where she has worked in the area of technology for 12 years. Prior to that, she was a classroom teacher for eight years. Ms. Joyce\u00a0has extensive experience developing curriculum and promoting the intentional use of technology to support student achievement in the PreK-12 classroom. She is an exceptional parent educator and advocate of digital citizenship and security who deeply cherishes whole child education and loves to celebrate the joy of learning!<\/p>\n

What did you love about MPA right away?<\/strong>
\nMy favorite part of the interview process was meeting the students. The students I interacted with from all three divisions were helpful, kind, articulate, and charming. It is evident that the entire community supports a “students first” mentality and I absolutely cannot wait to join that effort. And, in full disclosure, I should also mention how much I enjoyed the “spa water” at lunch, too!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your big dream?<\/strong>
\nMy big dream is to make all kinds of wellness, but especially digital wellness, a priority in the lives of as many people as I can. Talking about and sharing resources on how we can mindfully and intentionally use technology as teachers, parents, students\u2014human beings, is something I\u2019m really passionate about.<\/p>\n

What are you (and your family, if you so choose) passionate about?<\/strong>
\nOur family is passionate about wellness and taking care of ourselves and others. We love being outdoors and spending time on our boat with our two dogs, Hrbek and Rainy.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your secret talent?<\/strong>
\nI was told my “not-so-hidden-talents” are: \u201coff-the-charts\u201d slideshow skills and empathy.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t wait for our entire community to meet you, Ms. Joyce! Stay tuned for more extended Q&A profiles of the amazing faculty and staff joining our community in the 2019-20 school year!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
