Deshler Public Schools

A staff member says, "I would like to nominate Mrs. Anderson for the outstanding work she does each day in kindergarten. She consistently shows patience, kindness, and calmness, even in the middle of chaos. Mrs. Anderson is always willing to keep learning and growing—seeking out new strategies, reflecting on what works, and always working to better meet the needs of young learners. Her steady presence creates a safe, supportive classroom where students can thrive."

We are lucky to have you, Mrs. Anderson!

"Accepting No for an Answer" was a lesson last semester in guidance and these elementary students did a great job of showing that. 👏 👏 👏 We celebrated with our monthly "Popcorn with the Principal" and played some games as well! Good work, kids!

The JH BBB game vs. Superior on 1-15-2026 has been postponed due to illness at Superior. We will make-up this game when we travel to Superior on 1-27-26 for HS BB. The JH will play at 4:30 PM (prior to the boys JV basketball game).

Our middle school social skill of the week is "Following Directions". Students learned the skill, yesterday, and will continue to practice in the days to follow. Parents - feel free to watch the video and encourage these skills at home!
