Lac qui Parle Valley Schools

My name is Sue Baker. I am currently the Special Needs Teacher in the Appleton Elementary Building. This is my 22nd year of teaching. I've taught 4th grade, 5th grade, Special Needs grades 4-6 and now, Special Needs grades K-3. I finished my BA degree from the University of Minnesota, Morris in 1984, my Masters of Education from the University of Minnesota in 1988 and all of my Special Education Licensures (EBD, SLD and MMI) from St. Cloud State University and Mankato State University over a period of several years.

I believe all children can learn and I hold my students accountable for both their behaviors and learning. I want my students to become independent and responsible students so that someday they will become independent and responsible adults. I enjoy finding the "missing puzzle pieces" for special needs children that will enable them to learn and be successful people. Each child I work with becomes a very important part of my life!

I can be reached from 8:00AM - 4:00PM at the Appleton Elementary School. I welcome parent questions and involvement as I believe that you, the parents, are the first and most important teachers your child will ever have!
