Mrs. Deiters always has a warm, caring smile on her face as she greets students in the hallways and in her classroom. A student recently shared that Mrs. Deiters is a favorite teacher of so many students because of “the way she treats everyone in a calm and respectful way. She really cares about us as people, not just students.” As proof, Mrs. Deiters can often be found cheering on her students at extracurricular activities.
In addition to her friendly nature, Mrs. Deiters works hard and is extremely organized within her classroom. She is always looking for ways to learn and grow as a teacher.

As a willing collaborator and an outstanding communicator, Mrs. Deiters maintains positive relationships with her students, families, and co-workers. She is always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.
