Teacher's Message: 

Welcome to Gateway Middle School! I am Morgan Simmons, and I am thrilled to be a part of this vibrant learning community as your 8^th grade Algebra teacher. Our school is a place where every student is encouraged to grow academically, socially, and emotionally in a supportive and nurturing environment.

At Gateway, we believe that education is a collaborative effort among teachers, students, and parents. I believe it takes a village. My mission is to inspire a lifelong love of learning and to prepare our students to become responsible, respectful, and successful members of society.  I strive to create a classroom atmosphere that fosters curiosity, critical thinking, and a passion for discovery.

As your teacher, I am committed to providing engaging and meaningful learning experiences. I believe in the potential of every student and am dedicated to helping each one achieve their personal best. Whether it’s through innovative lessons, hands-on activities, or thoughtful discussions, my goal is to make learning both enjoyable and impactful.

Communication is key to a successful school year, so please feel free to reach out to me with any questions, concerns, or suggestions. I look forward to working closely with you to ensure that this year is filled with growth, achievement, and positive experiences.

Thank you for your support. Together, let’s make this an incredible year at Gateway Middle!

Warm regards,

Morgan Simmons
