• Dear Parents, Students, and Guardians,  

    Welcome to David Crockett Middle School. I am thrilled to have each of you in my class this year. My name is Mr. C. Thomas M.Ed., and I will be your 7th grade math teacher. My educational background is I have a Bachelor of Science in Health Care Administration and a master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis on Reading. Currently, I am pursuing my principal certificate at Lamar University. I also coach the 7th grade football team here at David Crockett Middle School.

    I hope you had a wonderful summer and are ready for an exciting year of learning and growth.

    This year, we will explore many new topics, engage in hands-on activities, and embark on various projects that will make learning both fun and challenging. My goal is to create a classroom environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and encouraged to share their ideas and questions.

    Here are a few things you can look forward to this year:

    1. Interactive Lessons: We'll have interactive and engaging lessons that will help you understand and enjoy the subjects we study.
    2. Group Activities: Working in teams will be a big part of our learning process, helping you to collaborate and learn from each other.
    3. Projects and Experiments: We'll have exciting projects and experiments that will bring our lessons to life.
    4. Personal Growth: We'll focus on developing not just academic skills but also personal skills like responsibility, respect, and empathy.

    I encourage you to approach this school year with a positive attitude and an open mind. Remember, it’s okay to make mistakes—that’s how we learn and grow. I am here to support you every step of the way, and I am excited to see how much you will achieve.

    Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns. You can contact me via email at clifford.thomas@fortbendisd.gov or through the school office.

    Let’s make this year an amazing and memorable one!
