Welcoming Our New Team Member

Sunday, April 2, 2017
On Monday, January 30, we welcomed a new member to the NRMS Family and the newest member of the 8th grade math team!  Mrs. Parr came our way from Carroll Middle School and brings experience in the accounting world.  She shares a love of learning mathematics, as well as fosters a growth mindset in her classroom.  
Because Mrs. Parr and I "share" students, she often time is pre-teaching our lesson, filling in foundational gaps, or covering current material.  We spent several hours talking about learning expectations, how to manage and set up our classrooms and most of all, getting to know each other.  After hours of talking with Mrs. Parr, I knew we made the best choice for our Falcons!

Knowing that our learners are being held accountable for their learning is huge!  One of the best parts of our team is that all of our learners know they can go to any of our rooms and get help on their Falcon Work!  This is such a huge blessing for both learners and teachers :)  
Mrs. Parr and her family came up the weekend before her official start at NRMS to brighten up their classroom and add a personal touch!  The walls went from a neutral color to bright, vibrant colors.  The classroom went from a cold environment to an environment where students felt welcomed and where learning was encouraged and supported!
