Dear Students and Families,
Welcome to the 2025-26 school year! We are both excited about teaching your child this year. We are very happy to have your child in our classes and as a part of the learning community here at Gateway. This year Mrs. Fink and Mrs. Fleming will be collaborating so students will benefit from “team teaching.” Each student will receive instruction, equally, from both of us. By doing this, we are able to focus on our areas of specialization and provide your child with more in-depth instruction. Mrs. Fink and Mrs. Fleming will work closely together, combining unique qualities and talents to provide each of our students a great education. All discipline, homework policies, and communication will be a joint effort.
Mrs. Fink will be focusing on reading and writing, and Mrs. Fleming will be focusing on math, science and social studies. We plan to integrate all subjects throughout our teaching. You will notice science and social studies topics in reading, writing and word study. You’ll also notice reading and writing skills integrated within the content areas. We are thrilled to be focusing on the areas in which we are the strongest, most comfortable, and most effective.
We are looking forward to working with you and your child this year. By working together, we know this will be an outstanding year!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Fink and Mrs. Fleming
