Special Education
Ms. Brooks
Hi, my name is Tracy Brooks and I am a Resource Teacher here at Chevy Chase Elementary. I am not a native to the area; I actually grew up in a suburb of Philadelphia. In 1999 I moved to the area to attend the University of Maryland in College Park. While there I received my degree in special education and soon after became certified in general education as well. I loved the area so much I decided to stay, and I now live in Bethesda.
In my spare time I like to read, shop, go to the movies, watch football (Go EAGLES!!), and eat out with friends. My favorite activity is taking my dog, Donovan (McNabb), on long walks from Bethesda into DC.

Greetings! My name is Kelly Szymczak and I have been part of the Resource Team at Chevy Chase since 2002. I was born and raised in the area and attended Bethesda Chevy Chase High School. I received my undergraduate degree in Special Education at Indiana University and completed many masters’ level courses at the University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins. I have taught in different special education programs in the county for over twenty five years.
When I am not at school, I am at home with my husband and three daughters. We enjoy eating out, going to the beach and watching the latest movies.
