My name is Ryan Descheneaux and this is my third year teaching special education but my second at the Wang! As a former student of the Wang I take pride in teaching and helping the next generation of eagles to become successful, powerful, and independent individuals!

I enjoy working with all of my students and look forward to the upcoming school year in 5th grade.

Ms.Katie Pelleriti

5 Special Ed Teacher 

Hi! I'm Katie Pelleriti, and I teach 5th grade Special Education. This is my 13th year at the Wang School, and I feel so lucky to be part of such a wonderful school community. Outside of school, I love to bake delicious treats for my friends and family, spend time with the people I love, and spend time with my two cats, Henry and Tilly. In the summer, one of my favorite places to be is Ogunquit Beach in Maine. I’m looking forward to another great year at Wang!

Prior to being a Reading Specialist I was a Special Education Teacher for several years. When I'm not at school I am enjoying time with my 8-year-old daughter. 

Miss Jocelyn Christopher 

7/8 Special Ed Teacher

Hi! I’m Miss Christopher, and I’m excited to be joining Wang Middle School this year! This will be my 13th year teaching and my 8th year working in Lowell, and I’m looking forward to getting to know my students, meeting the staff, and making it a great school year. When I’m not at school, you can usually find me spending time at the lake with friends and family, trying out new seafood restaurants, or doing CrossFit. I also have a service dog named Zook who is trained in medical scent work, so you might even see him around school from time to time! I’m looking forward to a fun year of learning, growth, and making some great memories together!
