   Welcome!  My name is Jodi Pastirko.  I have been a teacher at Deerfield Township School for 19 years.  Through those 19 years I have taught everything from Pre-k to 8th grade.  Ever since I was a little girl, I always wanted to be a teacher. I began by playing school every day as a child, moving on to babysit, working in a daycare center as a teenager, and finally substituting when I had enough credits from college.  I fulfilled my endeavor by attending Rowan College of New Jersey.  After graduating from Rowan, I was hired at Deerfield Township School.  

 

   My family and I live locally.  I have two daughters, one is twenty three and the other is fifteen.  The oldest daughter is now a teacher here at DTS and I couldn't be prouder.  The youngest daughter attends Cumberland Regional High School.  She is very active and keeps me busy.

 

   The following is my grading policy for my classroom.  

         Homework :  20%

         Classwork and

         quizzes      :  30%

         Tests and

         Projects     : 50% 

    

      I expect all of my students to try their best.  If they give their best, how can I ask for anything more?
