Welcome Students !
Dear Seventh Grader,
Welcome to Middle School and the school year of 2018-2019. I hope that you had a wonderful summer. My name is Mr. Fleming and I will be your homeroom teacher this year.
What is a homeroom teacher, you ask?
You will be spending a large part of your day with me. I will also be your CREW and science teacher. As a homeroom class, we will work together to learn about empathy, problem solving, and how to stay organized. I’m very excited to meet and get to know each one of you! Before we meet, let me tell you a little bit about me. This will be my second year at Roosevelt Junior High. My wife and I love to try new restaurants, go to concerts, sporting events, and travel. This summer we spent lots of time outside, at the pool, and having summer fun!
Our classroom number is 230. Please have all of your supplies, science note book. Don’t forget to label all of them with your first and last name. We will have an incredible year together in seventh grade. You probably have many questions, but don’t worry I will be there to help you this year.
Feel free to e-mail me with any questions before or after we meet.
Sincerely,
Mr. Fleming
