WELCOME BACK!!

Wow it is really hard to believe that summer is over already!! We are heading back to school this week and it is going to be a busy one! First let me introduce myself. I am Mrs. Rumsey, your Advanced Algebra teacher. I have two daughters, Hannah and Maddie who are in 7th and 5th grades at Sparta. I graduated from SVSU with a bachelors in education and GVSU with a masters in Educational Leadership. This year I am teaching all Advanced Algebra and Calculus. It is a very exciting year. We will be preparing to take both the ACT/MME and AP Calc tests. I love when we have specific targets to work toward! I am available to assist any student who needs help before school, during school, and in the evenings via cell phone or email. My email address is stacey.rumsey@staff.spartaschools.org and my cell number is 616-460-2380. Please feel free to email or text me whenever you need assistance. I look forward to getting to know each of you and can't wait to help you achieve mathematics at your highest potential!
