Welcome! My name is Roxanne Jaecks and I will be your child's 6th Grade Gifted Language Arts Teacher. This is my 11th Year of Teaching and I have a Master's Degree in Education and a Level 3 License. I am also the Head Coach for the Cross Country team, and one of the Head Coaches for Track. I sponsor Student Council as well. I am very eager to work with you and your child this year. Your child will have one of the greatest educational experiences of their life. I love teaching and coaching and ensure you that your child is in good hands.

My class focuses on novel studies, grammar, root words, creative and academic writing through the writing process using the Six Traits of Writing. The goal is to assist your child in making a smooth transition from Elementary School to Middle School. Expectations are simple: pay attention, do your best, and respect everyone.

The best way to contact me is email. Feel free to email anytime if you have any questions or concerns. Email addresses can be found on the Desert Ridge Website and on the title of this page.

Below is a calendar that will be helpful to organize upcoming assignments and due dates. There are several tabs on the top of the website that will lead you to resources and rubrics, however these will also be posted to google classroom.
