Dear Students and Families,

I began working for the Oak Harbor School District in 2008.  I started as a para-educator in the choices EBD program at Oak Harbor Middle School and eventually became a behavior specialist and worked with students throughout the school district.  I enjoyed working with the students and staff so much that I decided to go back to school and obtain my teaching certificate.

I started teaching in the Choices program at Oak Harbor Intermediate midway through the 2017-2018 school year.  I have enjoyed contributing to our student's growth and helping them make gains with their behaviors and academics.

I was raised on Whidbey Island and attended Oak Harbor Public Schools for my entire school career.  My husband and I moved back to Oak Harbor and are now both teaching for the district. I spend most of my free time coaching basketball or spending time with my 3 children and our dog.

My goal is that each and every student develops a love for learning in my class. I look forward to getting to know your child and working with each of you this year.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Danielle Atkins
