Hello Families!

Welcome to my classroom for this upcoming school

year! My name is Mr. Evan Stahlke, and this is my first year in
the classroom. This means there will be plenty of opportunities
of learning and growth for myself and learners in this
classroom. I have had numerous experiences with different age
levels including Kindergarten, Middle School, and Middle
level Education. Along with this, I have continuously worked
with grades Kindergarten through 5th grade (ages 5-10) during
a summer program through which I am employed. I worked
towards my degree at South Dakota State University (CO-OP)
with Dakota State University in the field of early childhood
education. This background has set me up for success in this
field and I look forward to a highly anticipated year!

I am originally from Watertown, SD and outside of the classroom I am very entertained

by sports. I participated in a variety of athletics growing up and still today I enjoy trying to be
active. I also get caught up watching different events. Other hobbies of mine include playing
music on my guitar or piano with many years of experience or enjoying time spent with
family and friends. These are some of my dearest interests, and I can’t wait to get to know
some of yours as well.
Understandably, there will be some challenges that we face throughout the year. I want you to
know that I am readily available if you have questions or concerns. Listed below are the best
ways to contact me with any discussion points you would like to cover. It is my responsibility
to keep you all engaged with your learners in the classroom.
My best availability for you to reach out to me is throughout the week from 4:00 P.M.- 6:00
P.M. for the quickest response. Otherwise, my communication is available throughout the
school week 8:00-4:00 as well.
I look forward to a fantastic school year and a meaningful progression of relationships and
learning.
