5th Grade Teacher Email Phone: 712-476-2615 My name is Marcus De Jager and I was born and raised in Rock Valley. I am married and have three kids. Their names are Emmet, Elsie, and Brooks. I love spending time with my family and I enjoy golfing in the summer. I also enjoy anything dealing with sports and competing, especially watching the greatest team of all time Dallas Cowboys. I teach 5th grade Bible, Math, Writing/Spelling, Social Studies, and 8th grade Social Studies and Bible. I also coach girls basketball and soccer at RVCS. I will have the 5th graders as my homeroom for this coming year. I went to Rock Valley Christian as a kid, then Western Christian and then Dordt College. I majored in secondary education with an endorsement in World and American History along with a coaching endorsement. This coming year will be my 4th year teaching and my 2nd year teaching here at RVCS. I chose to teach at Rock Valley Christian because I went to this school and had many of the same teachers that were here when I was a student. I know that this school emphasizes “discipleship” above anything else and that is what I try to model my teaching style after. I know that I have an opportunity to impact the lives of my students intellectually but most importantly spiritually. RVCS allows me to teach the way I want to teach with God at the center.
