About the Administration

David Brusak, Principal

Aaron Dudley, Assistant Principal

I am extremely pleased to have the opportunity to introduce myself to you.  My name is Aaron Fedanzo-Dudley and I am the new Assistant Principal here at Lakewood Creek.  I am very excited to be here and look forward helping our students become the best they can be.  I truly believe that all of the people who touch our students’ lives need be involved in a positive way.  When I started teaching I heard a co-worker state “Education is like triangle. The parents, students, teachers/staff make up the three sides of the triangle.  Without one the triangle will collapse.”   This saying has always stuck with me and I truly believe that all three components are vital to our success.   Parents, students, and staff need to believe in the educational process and choose to have a positive and cooperative attitude everyday. 

I graduated from Eastern Illinois University in 2002.  I completed my student teaching in a 5th grade REI classroom.  A REI class is a regular education classroom with a cluster of special education students who are being mainstreamed.  I was then picked up by the district to teach a 6th and 7th grade special education position at the middle school.  During this time I also tutored at risk 4th grade students.  I then joined the Valley View School District at Wood View Elementary where I taught 3rd grade.  Wood View was a great place where I had a chance to work with wonderful people.  While at Wood View I was able to work with a wide range of regular and special education students.  I also had the opportunity to work on the reading incentives committee and lead the schools technology committee.  In addition to my regular teaching responsibilities I also had the opportunity to teach at risk 1st grade students during the summer school programs for the 04 and 05 summers.  While working for Valley View I was provided with top of the line training in classroom management, techniques for communicating with parents, integrating technology into the curriculum, and best instructional practices.  In addition, I was also trained in PBIS, Baldrige, Flex West, Aims web, differentiation, guided reading, and hands on science.  I completed my Masters Degree from Concordia University in the winter of 06.  

My family and I live in Yorkville.  My wife is a pre-school teacher and our two children are the loves of our lives.  Hailey is two and becoming very independent and Alexis is one and learning how to talk.  Our third child is our Boxer named Roscoe.  I really enjoy athletics, especially football, and spending time with my family. 

Once again I am excited to be here and look forward to working with all of you.  If you need anything throughout the year please remember that Rafael and I are here to support you.
