About Me

Welcome! I'm so excited you're here!

My name is Megan Fleet, and I have the privilege of teaching 5th grade at Gold Rush Elementary. This year marks my 25th year in education and my 15th year at Gold Rush. Throughout my career, I've taught 4th grade, 5th grade, a 4th/5th grade combination class, and middle school (6th through 8th grade). I also developed Gold Rush's K–5 STEAM program and served as a technology integration coach. Every role has strengthened my belief that the best classrooms are built on strong relationships, curiosity, kindness, and a love of learning.

One of the things I love most is teaching in the same district where I grew up. After graduating from Douglas County schools, I attended Gonzaga University, where I earned degrees in Psychology and Elementary Education. I later completed my Master's degree in Reading and Writing Instruction and earned my K–12 Reading Teacher endorsement because I believe great teachers never stop learning.

Outside of school, I love spending time with my family. Crosby, who is entering 5th grade at Gold Rush, and Josie, who is starting kindergarten, are always up for an adventure. Together, we enjoy exploring Colorado, spending time outdoors, and squeezing in the occasional Peloton ride. As both a teacher and a parent, I understand the trust it takes to send your child to school each day. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your child's learning journey.

In our classroom, you'll find students asking questions, taking risks, working together, and discovering that learning can be both meaningful and fun. I strive to create an environment where students grow academically, build confidence, develop independence, and know they belong.

I believe that the strongest learning happens when families and teachers work as a team. I'm looking forward to partnering with you to make this an incredible year full of growth, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

I'm so glad you're here, and I can't wait for an amazing year together!
