Get to know our incredible team in the “Meet our Staff” Monday series! We hope you enjoy getting to know the faces behind the scenes! #MeetOurStaffMonday #BehindTheScenes #EmployeeAppreciation #GetToKnowUs #SWSDStrongerTogether Meet Our Staff: Joana Michaelson Joana Michaelson is a familiar face at Cascade Middle School, where she serves as the Wellness (PE/Health) teacher. Having dedicated nearly six years to the Sedro-Woolley School District, Joana brings a wealth of experience and a passion for education to her role. Originally born in the Philippines, Joana's journey took her to England at the age of four and later to the United States when she turned 12. Growing up in Olympia and later attending Western Washington University in Bellingham, Joana discovered her calling for teaching while coaching youth club soccer for Northwest United FC in Skagit County. It was through these connections that she fell in love with the tight-knit communities, including Sedro-Woolley, eventually leading her to pursue a teaching position at Cascade Middle School. Joana holds a BS and MS in Kinesiology from Western Washington University, later completing her post baccalaureate and earning a BA in Secondary Education. Initially drawn to a career in sports science research, Joana's path shifted towards education due to her experiences coaching club soccer. At the age of 12, she envisioned a career in nursing, reflecting her lifelong interest in the medical and health sector. One of Joana's most rewarding experiences is encountering former students in the real world who remember and appreciate the impact she made during their middle school years. Landing her first teaching job at Sedro-Woolley after college remains a standout achievement in her career. Outside of school, Joana indulges in various activities. She is an avid golfer, pickleball enthusiast, mountain biker, and skier. Her passion for golf and pickleball shines through as particular highlights. Looking ahead, Joana plans to pursue her administrative certification in the next five years with aspirations of becoming an assistant principal. Her advice to students is simple: "Enjoy the process of learning and lean into your challenges." Joana hopes that SWSD students will carry with them positive memories and a sense of preparedness for the next stages of their lives.

Meet our Staff: Joana Michaelson
We are gearing up for Friday’s cold temperatures (9° to 20°F) and would like to encourage families to be proactive as well. If the forecasted temperatures are correct, we will have indoor recesses at the elementary schools; middle school students will remain in the cafeteria during lunches. Please dress students in extra layers of outerwear, including jackets, hats, gloves, and extra socks, to keep them warm and comfortable during transitions between buildings or while they’re waiting for the bus. With a lot of young drivers at State Street and Sedro-Woolley High Schools, we also want to remind families to remind their teens to prioritize safety while driving to and from school, especially in potentially icy conditions. The district’s transportation team will also be checking road conditions before the first buses leave the bus garage at 6 a.m. If conditions warrant a two-hour late start, families will be notified via FlashAlert, Facebook, the District Website as well as School Messenger messages via email, text and voice.
