Welcome! This is a website for students enrolled in Mr. Dertz's 6th and 7th Grade Social Studies classes and their parents. I hope you enjoy this website and find it useful.
 At the North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts (July 2015). About Me: This is my 8th year teaching in the Pecatonica school district. Before coming to Pecatonica, I was a teacher in the Freeport and Eastland school districts where I taught Social Studies, Driver Education, and Language Arts. I have a Master's Degree in Educational Technology from the University of Phoenix and a BA in History from Aurora University. At Aurora, I played football and was a three-year starter on the offensive line and a team captain my senior year. After college, I enlisted in the United States Army and served three years as a Cavalry Scout in the 7th Cavalry Regiment. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy reading about history, hunting, fishing, and coaching youth football. | email: chrisdertz@pecschools.com phone: 815/239-2612 Syllabus: Class Rules and Procedures Mr. Dertz's Schedule: 1st Period (8:00-8:42): 7th Grade Social Studies 2nd Period (8:46-9:28): 7th Grade Social Studies 3rd Period (9:32-10:14): 7th Grade Social Studies 4th Period (10:18-11:00): 6th Grade Social Studies 5th Period (11:00-11:45): 6th Grade Social Studies 6th Period (11:45-12:30): 6th Grade Social Studies LUNCH (12:30-1:00): 8th Period (1:04-1:46): PREP 9th Period (1:50-2:32): 7th Grade Social Studies 10th Period (2:36-3:15): 6th Grade ISP  |
