A Greeting from Ms. Rollston

Hello! My name is Jessy Rollston and I am student teaching with Mr. Tidey this fall.  I am currently a student at Central Michigan University.  I am majoring in Social Studies and History.  I also have a minor in English.  In 2006 I graduated from Sparta High School.  During the past four summers I have worked with children and young adults ranging in age from five to thirteen years of age.  I am very excited to get to know students and parents this fall!

Welcome to the 2011-2012 School Year

Dear Parents/Students,

Welcome to the new school year.  I am looking forward to meeting everyone at Open House on Tuesday, August 30 from 4:30 - 7:00 p.m.  Open House is an informal night for your child to meet his/her teachers, become familiar with the halls, practice using lockers, etc.  I am sure many students are nervous and excited about the transition to the middle school.  I know my own sixth grade son, Mason, is a little of both.  Open House is a great way for students to calm some of these nerves. 

Open House will also be a great time to meet our student teacher, Jessy Rollston.  Miss Rollston is a former Sparta graduate.  She is looking forward to seeing you all on Tuesday as well.

Looking forward to meeting everyone on Tuesday.

Mr. Tidey & Miss Rollston
