Hello My Name Is...

Mrs. Fiordirosa

The 2020-21 school year marks my 22nd year at River Trails Middle School.  The last twenty of these years have been spent teaching 7^th grade.  I started my career in a private school after graduating from Northeastern Illinois University.  Within a couple years, my husband and I started a family and I spent the next fourteen years at home raising our children.  Our children all attended District 26 schools and I am proud to be a teacher in this same wonderful district. When not at school, I enjoy spending time with my husband, children, grandchildren, watching sports, cooking, and being active in our church.

I provide additional academic support to 7th graders in all content areas through Resource classes, as well as teaching instructional level Math class and supporting a strategic level Math class.

This year will be like none other we have ever known, but I will be here to support your children through it all. 

In the Resource classroom, educational support is given to students with learning differences. Students work on individual goal areas, organizational skills, study skills, test taking strategies, and receive academic support as needed.  

Expectations of students in 7^th grade Resource

• Students are expected to record all daily and long-term assignments into assignment notebook.
• Students will work on specific goal areas as required/requested by the teacher.
• Students are expected to use their time wisely and seek help as needed on difficult assignments.
• Respectful behavior towards teachers and peers is expected at all times.

• Encourage your child to reach out for any extra help with their remote learning assignments!
