Hello, my name is Braxton Shearer. I am excited to be your Mathematics teacher this year! Monticello has been my home all of my life and I am a proud alumni of Wayne County High School. I graduated from Lindsey Wilson College in May 2019, where I obtained a BA in Middle Grades Education (5-9) with an emphasis in Mathematics and a minor in Business Administration. This is my third year teaching and I am excited to be returning to Wayne County Middle School. You may have seen me around the school, or possibly even at Walmart; I also work there as a second job.

I am very much looking forward to having you in class and watching your skills and knowledge grow this year. This year some of the major topics we will be covering are: rational number operations; expressions, equations, and inequalities; proportional relationships; geometry; probability; and sampling and data analysis.

When you have questions or wish to talk with me about your child, please feel free to email me at braxton.shearer@wayne.kyschools.us or to call me at school. Our number is (606) 348-6691. My preferred way of communication is via email; however, phone calls are always welcome. The best times to contact me are before school (7:00am-8:00am), after school (3:00pm-4:00pm), or during my planning (11:30am-12:20pm). If the times listed above are inconvenient, please contact me to schedule an appointment time that will work for you.

Additionally, you and your parents/guardians should have already signed up to received Remind notifications for the 7th Grade Red Team. Remind will be a great tool for me to quickly share information and reminders to the entire team.

I am excited about the opportunity to get to know you, and I am looking forward to a happy and productive school year. Despite these unprecedented times, with the cooperation and support from you and your family, I know that we can make this the best year yet!
