My name is Kali Clark and I am so grateful to be teaching first grade at Deer Creek Elementary School.  I grew up in Edmond and graduated from Oklahoma State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Early Childhood Education. In addition to my college training, I have educational training in programs such as Literacy First, Great Expectations, A+ and Schools Attuned. This will be my fifth year to teach in the Deer Creek School District.

Children are truly my passion and I am so thankful to be working in such an amazing school, alongside an incredible group of teachers and staff, as well as wonderful and supportive Deer Creek families!  I believe that children learn best when they can relate their learning experiences to their life and when they feel comfortable and confident taking risks as learners.  I feel it is important to build a classroom community in which all students are engaged and feel safe working together to solve problems and learn from one another.

I have a wonderful family that includes a younger sister, Tara, who recently graduated from the University of Oklahoma. My husband, Josh, works as a landman in the oil and natural gas business.  We just celebrated our two year anniversary in May!  We have four precious dogs: Cayenne, Pepper, Huey and Juno.  Outside of the classroom, I enjoy reading, cooking, watching movies and traveling.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call or e-mail me throughout the school year. I consider it a great privilege to be entrusted with the responsibility to teach your child and I look forward to a great year!
