Hello,
Welcome to the new website and 5 weeks of the 2018-2019 school year, in room 134, Middle School math. I’m Carlalee Boettger, but I go by Carlee as an easier first name I'm qualified to teach 6-12 math and physics in Colorado and Wyoming.
I have taught grades 6-12 and a year of college. My favorite years are the middle school ones! |

Fun Fact 1 I wanted to be a teacher at the age of 5. I had a board, a teacher desk and a student desk. My first student was my father. We did math because I couldn’t read his handwriting! My second student was my sister. She was great in all subjects! |

Fun Fact 2 You probably have heard of an Exchange student. Did you know that there are programs similar to that for teachers? As a Fulbright scholar, I applied to be an exchange teacher to England. I swapped jobs, houses and cars with a teacher in Doncaster (northern England) for a year. What an exciting experience!!! |

When I am not teaching, or planning lessons I am: outside! I love to work in the garden. My yearly goal is to grow enough herbs and vegetables to last a summer. So far I can’t seem to last past August…maybe this year. |

Middle School Expectations
Ms. Asher, Ms. Boettger, Ms. Reynolds
It is our goal that the middle school students be the leaders of our school and looked upon by all grade levels as examples of positive academic success and character development. With this in mind, we have put together the following policies that you will be expected to follow at school and any school functions.
Assignments and Assessments:
It is important that assignments are completed and returned on time.
Should a student need extended time to complete a particular assignment or assessment or have difficulty with a portion of the content being studied, options are as follows:
Students will be assessed on a traditional grading scale, (A=100-90%, B=89-80%, C=79-70%, D=69-60%, F=59% and below). In-class daily work, activities and projects will be 40% of a student grades with assessments of learning as the remaining 60%. If a student scores below a 70% on a cumulative assessment, the student and teacher will work to remediate the topics. The student will then retake the test; full credit will be shown for the improved score.
It is the student's responsibility to make arrangements with their teacher prior to their absence, (if possible) to gather any notes and/or assignments which need to be completed. If it is not possible to make arrangements prior to the absence, it is expected that arrangements will be made the day of the students return to school. Students are typically given one day for each day absent to complete make-up work.
Please remember I’m here to make sure that your child has a successful year. If you have any questions or concerns about the requirements, policies, or how your student is doing in class please contact me at any time either by phone, CVA Extension 134 or email:
