Melinda Malterer

Welcome to Deerfield Elementary School!

My name is Melinda Malterer, and I am honored to serve as your principal. I take immense pride in our school—a place where a dedicated staff, enthusiastic students, and supportive families unite to create a vibrant, caring learning community.

At Deerfield Elementary, we strive to create a true “home away from home.” Thanks to manageable class sizes and an exceptional team of educators, we focus on nurturing strong relationships and delivering meaningful learning experiences tailored to every child. We firmly believe that when schools and families join forces, amazing things happen—and we are deeply grateful for our community's continued partnership.

Together, let’s continue to guide every student toward academic success and empower them to grow into confident, capable individuals. Please feel free to reach out anytime if you have questions or need support. I am always happy to help!

Warmly, 
Melinda Malterer
Deerfield Elementary School Principal
