As Director of 504s and Student Analytics at TEC Connections Academy, Meredith is dedicated to supporting all students so they can achieve academic success and develop the skills to become lifelong learners.
Ms. Arieta-Heaney has been with the school since August 2018. Her initial role was Family Engagement Specialist, prior to transitioning to 504 coordination.
Since entering the education field in 2007, Ms. Arieta-Heaney has been very interested in how students, families, and school all interact to promote student learning. The triadic learning model offered at Connections Academy is a perfect professional match for this interest.
Ms. Arieta-Heaney truly values what the school offers to families who are looking for an alternative to the traditional public school learning environment. She credits the support and flexibility offered by TEC Connections Academy for helping all students – with and without disabilities – meet their goals. Ms. Arieta-Heaney is also continuing her postgraduate education by studying Trauma-Informed Practice to further enhance her ability to foster student achievement and engagement.
Outside of school, Meredith enjoys spending time with her family, riding her Peloton, reading, and walking her dogs.
