I am Cari McNally and I am one of the Special Education Teachers here at Brook Avenue Elementary.

I have been with Waco ISD for 24 years.  I was a counselor with Waco ISD for the past 23 years.  

Special Education has always been a passion of mine.  Advocating for and helping students/families with disabilities is important to me.  I believe all students should be loved, cared for and pushed to do their best.. Encouraging/fostering/facilitating academic and social/emotional growth is what I will strive to do for all of my students.

I am Debbie Van Cleave, the Dyslexia teacher at Brook Avenue Elementary School.  This is my 38th year in education of which the last 10 have been with Waco ISD.  I look forward to helping my students unlock the code to reading and strive to help them believe they are capable of anything they set their minds to. I am thankful for the opportunity to work with the students at Brook Avenue!
