July 30,2017 Dear Parents and Guardians, I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Martin Pearson and I'm the proud new principal of Adams City Middle School. I am so excited to get to know all of you and begin building relationships with our students and families. We have a lot of work to do at ACMS and I'm excited to work collaboratively with students, staff, families, and community to ensure every student at ACMS has access to ahigh-quality education. A few things about me. While I'm not a Colorado native, I have lived here most of my life. I grew up in Widefield, Colorado and attended college at the University of Southern Colorado in Pueblo. I moved to the Denver Metro area in 1997 where I began my career in education as a sixth and seventh grade social studies and language arts teacher. I completed my Master's degree at the University of Phoenix. From there I moved into administration and eventually would end up spending the vast majority of my administrative career in middle school, both as an assistant principal and principal. This will be my twentieth year in education. I have two amazing children. Morgan, my daughter is 9 and Calvin, my son is 5. They both attend school in Brighton. My wife Kixn is a career educator and has spent the last sixteen years in Adams Twelve as a teacher, instructional coach, and now DTEA coordinator. We currently live in Thornton. In my spare time, I love watching football, reading, and spending time with friends and family. I believe that every child deserves ahigh-quality education in a school environment where they are safe, respected, challenged, and provided with tremendous opportunities for success. My goal is to work diligently to create that environment for your child. I believe in my new staff and know they have the skills to create the best environment for your child. I look forward to working with you to help us achieve this goal. I believe in maintaining an open-door policy. If you need to meet with me to discuss questions or concerns, please contact my Office Manager, Giuliana Marquez at 303-853-5401 to schedule a time. Respectfully, ~VV` Martin Peazson Principal Adams City Middle School [email protected]
