My name is Tracie Courcier. I have been a teacher with Des Moines Public Schools since 2001. I received my undergraduate degree from Simpson College and my Master’s in Special Education from Drake University. My husband, Cory and I have two children, Megyn and Ryan. I love to spend time with my family and friends, go to water parks, and make cookies with my kids at home.

My name is Mary Jeffries. This is my 12th year as an Associate with Des Moines Public Schools. I enjoy working with students to meet their goals. My husband of 29 years is Rob. We have 2 sons, Bobbie and Cody, a grandson Anthony, and 2 amazing future daughters-in-law. When I am not in school, I love being outside and spending time with friends and family.
