Our August Employees of the Month were recognized at the Wayzata School Board meeting on Monday, August 11. Please join us in honoring two outstanding educators from Student Support Services. 

Our first August Employee of the Month is Special Education Coordinator Steff Weekly. Steff is an educator of ALL learners in our district, and we deeply appreciate her longstanding service as a coach, teacher and leader. For the past five years as a special education coordinator, she has grounded every single decision in a student-centered approach.

Next, Student Support Services is proud to recognize Anna Heetland, a multilingual teacher at Central Middle School. Anna's leadership within the multilingual team is exemplary. She serves as a mentor, coach, and partner to our new staff, generously sharing her knowledge and fostering a supportive environment that helps new educators thrive. As a tireless advocate and a leader of co-teaching, she consistently partners with all teachers to ensure they have the tools and strategies needed to support every student. This collaborative spirit not only strengthens our teaching community, but also directly improves instructional practices and student outcomes.

Congratulations, again, to Steff and Anna for being named the August Employees of the Month!
