Welcome to Dassel Elementary!

    • Educate. Innovate. Succeed.

      Dassel Elementary is a place where we ask students and staff members to “Just make a mark and see where it takes you.” Teachers and support staff engage, nurture, and support students in a way that helps each individual child see that they have amazing potential if they just try. Let’s see what we can do together to encourage the ‘CAN DO’ attitude in all of us.

      Hello!  My name is Ryan Weinandt, and I am proud to be the principal at Dassel Elementary, "The Home of Kids Who Care." 
      I look forward to partnering with our families, community, and staff as we work together to provide the best educational experience for our students.  I previously taught second grade at Cokato Elementary and was the DC Middle School Dean of Students. 
      I love this community and am happy to call Dassel home.  I enjoy visiting national parks, outdoor activities, and playing/coaching sports.  Please let me know if there is anything that our staff or I can do to support our student's educational journey at Dassel Elementary.
