Hello, and welcome! My name is Kayla Dessert and it's a pleasure to be your child's sixth grade teacher this year. Although I'm currently on maternity leave until November 1st, I'm getting ready for my return and am excited to meet and work with you all.
This year will be my second year at West Union, and my ninth year teaching in Hillsboro. I grew up in Hillsboro and attended Ladd Acres, Brown, and Century. I then went on to attend the University of Oregon to earn my Bachelors in Elementary Education and Masters, with an endorsement in ESOL. I'm a fourth generation teacher and can't imagine doing anything else. Everyone in my family is a huge Duck fan, and you'll find me often sporting green and yellow and cheering on my team. You will also find me spending my non-school time enjoying my new role as a mom, and spending time being active with my family. |
