Hi! I'm Mrs. Shagam. This is my 10th year of teaching, but my first year with the DeForest Area School District. I taught in the Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District for the past nine years. I started out teaching middle school Computer Applications and moved to elementary school after four years, teaching K-5 Computer Literacy. I also served as a technology integrator for my building staff. I have two bachelor degrees, one in Elementary Education with a Computer Science Teaching minor, and one in Software Development. I also have a Masters of Education in Instructional Technology. I am very excited to become part of the Deforest community!
My family consists of my husband, Justin, and my son, Archer. We have two dogs, Charlie and Max, and five cats, Cheddar, Kayla, Lillian, Pumpkin, and Beemer. I love to read, garden, and bum around on the computer. I love live comedy, spending time with family and friends, and going to the dog park. I'm passionate about helping students develop computer and digital citizenship skills.
