Greetings! My name is Catrina Zuccato and I have the pleasure of working in your child's classroom this year as an Instructional Assistant. I will be splitting my time between Mrs. McLaughlin and Mrs. Gunderson’s 1st grade classes. I am very excited to assist both amazing teachers with the success of your students education. This is going to be my second year at Paradise Honors Elementary School. Last year I worked in the Special Needs Department and loved every minute. I am very excited to begin my new role in 1st grade and to get to know all the sweet students that I will spend the school year with. I have worked in a school setting for almost 10 years, from an one on one to long term substitute teacher.
I am from Northern California where I grew up in a very small town between Sacramento and Tahoe. My husband’s job moved us to Arizona 6 years ago from Reno. We have two boys here at Paradise Honors. One at the Elementary School in 5th grade and one at the Middle School in 7th grade. As a family we take Tae Kwon Do classes and have all earned our blackbelts. We love going to the beach and lakes together, anything to keep us cool. I look forward to getting to know all of you and your children. Learning all about their summer and dreams for the future.
