Hello, my name is Mrs. Raitt. This is my 13th year teaching special education. Prior to teaching, I worked in the health insurance industry. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Special Education from Northern Illinois University and a Master of Arts in Reading Instruction from Aurora University. I co-teach four sections of English Language Arts. Three sections are co-taught with Mrs. Schulz on team 8-2 and one sections is co-taught with Mr. Holm on team 8-1. I also teach a study skills class focusing on literacy. My husband and I live in Yorkville. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy reading, watching sports, and more than anything, spending time with my children and grandchildren.
