OUACHITA JUNIOR HIGH

Welcome to Sixth Grade Social Studies!!!

My name is Sara Deshotel and I will be teaching your child Social Studies for the 2022-23 school year. To ensure that your child reaches their full potential we need to work together (teacher/student/parent). Working together requires that you know about my class so we will be able to develop a strong and helpful working relationship that includes communicating clearly and consistently. I want to make sure your child receives the best education that will help him/her succeed now and in the future. To do this, I need you to read and discuss with your child the following procedures and expectations for the year

Conferences 

To ensure your child’s academic success, it is important to maintain good communication between parent and teacher. I will send out weekly class updates through webpams/google classroom to notify of homework, upcoming tests, or school wide information. Conferences may be scheduled through the office at 318-432-2200, or you may contact me on my email-saradeshotel@opsb.net.
