Hello 2nd Grade Families
My name is Deb Kadoun, and this will be my 15th year teaching at Urbandale Schools. I am honored to teach 2nd grade and to be involved with your child’s learning. I am a graduate of UNI with a degree in Elementary Education and endorsements in Reading and Language Arts and a Masters in Effective Teaching and Instructional Leadership. My free time involves my husband, three adult children , 2 grandchildren and everything in the outdoors. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. I am very eager to start the year in 2nd grade with you and your child at Valerius!
