Dear Students and Families,
​
​ Welcome to our 2025-2026 school year! My name is Taelyr Anderson and I am thrilled to be your 7th/8th grade science teacher. I hope you had a wonderful summer and are ready for a school year full of growth, learning, and fun.
To our students, our classroom is a place where students are encouraged to be curious, questions are welcomed, and everyone is respected. As a class, we will work together to create an environment that is positive and supportive and a place built to thrive.
To our families, I believe communication is essential for a successful year. I will be sending home updates and newsletters to keep you in the loop about all of the fun and exciting activities going on in our classroom and any important dates to remember.
You will find that my classroom management style emphasizes responsibility, embraces mistakes as learning opportunities, and fosters a growth mindset. With that being said, I can't wait to get to know each of you better and by working together, we will make this a memorable and productive year. Join me in making this 4th grade the best yet! Let's go Diamondbacks!​
​
Warmest Regards,
Mrs. Anderson (7th/8th Grade Science Teacher)
