Hello! As you may or may not have figured out, the links that belong to the progress reports are broken and they cannot be accessed right now. They crashed when the server went down this summer. I am currently waiting for Mr. Deters to find time in his busy schedule to fix them, hopefully this week. There are very few assignements to report on at this point anyway. I will send a printout home soon if the links continue to be broken. We are having a great year so far, and I am really enjoying each and every member of this class. Thanks for your patience!

Welcome!

Hello! Welcome to another new school year! Summer sure went by quickly, and I am so excited to get to know my new 6th graders. Please don't hesitate to call or e-mail with questions. I will try to update the site as often as possible and try to post helpful links to the right. I will see you for conferences and the first weeks of school.

OUTDOOR SCHOOL is coming!!!! Yeah!!!! I just received word that we will be going to the 4H center outside of West Salem, so we will be very close to home but in a very beautiful location! It is my favorite camp out of the four that I have been to. We will be attending camp from Tuesday, May 3rd through Thursday, May 5. What an exciting time. Forms will be coming home soon. There is a link on this page (Polk Soil and Water Conservation District)where you can print out extra forms and get questions answered. It is still under construction, but it will be up soon.
