Meet the Class

My name is Melissa Latona and I will be your child's Kindergarten teacher this year. This is my 19th year teaching in the Hamilton School District. I taught 1st grade for one year and all the rest have been in K5. Marcy and Kindergarten are where my heart is! I am honored to teach your little one this year.

I grew up in Wauwatosa with my parents and older brother. I graduated from Wisconsin Lutheran High School, received my Bachelors degree in PreK-6 Education with a Minor in Early Childhood from UW-Whitewater, and received my Masters degree in Education and Reading Teacher License from Viterbo University. I reside in Menomonee Falls with my husband Tim (a Milwaukee firefighter), three children Addison (11), Colton (10), Leighton (8) and GoldenDoodle puppy, Boston (1). My children also go to the Hamilton School District, with my youngest being here at Marcy and the oldest at SSI.
