Dupo Jr. High School 7th grade science teacher
  Hi, My name is Mrs. Kautzer and I would like to welcome you to my webpage.  Each week I will post our daily assignments and activities on my web site.  I will also have links to vocabulary and science related games that you may play to improve your science knowledge.  I will also include a link to our school calendar to show when we are off school, including early out days.  The School Notes link will give you access to the notes we took in class.

     Parents, It is my goal to work with your child to succeed at the highest level possible.  I also hope to create a fun science experience for your child.  My expectations for your child are high.  RESPECT in the classroom is my top priority.  By respecting classmates and myself the flow of the classroom enables all students to learn in an engaging environment.  Students are expected to stay current with all homework assignments or lunch detentions may be given or lab time lost.  I DO NOT ACCEPT LATE WORK!!!!!  Student homework is rarely given in my class.  Most work is expected to be done in class - students must use their time in class wisely!!  Your child will have one independent project to complete each quarter.  The projects will be worked on outside of class.
