Fort Thomas Middle School
Monday Refresh! 🌟
When we asked students to share positive things happening on campus at FTMS, they had some great things to say—in their own words! 😊
We’re looking forward to creating even more positive, fun opportunities for empowered student voices to be heard across our campus.
A special thank-you to the students who shared their thoughts today through our quick-note exercise connected to a mini object lesson. Your voices matter, and we love hearing what makes FTMS a great place to be!
More positive fun—and more student voices—to come! 💙

We are asking that all of our FTMS families help support us in our efforts to maintain safe and timely bus runs. Every 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade student has been addressed regarding bus behavior practices. Each week, there has been whole grade level and individual class discussions around the following recurring issues: foul language, touching other people's things, yelling stop to bus drivers, and getting off at the wrong bus stops. We will be sending a notice home to all students tomorrow regarding school wide news & expectations.
Check out bus routes for the upcoming school year!

We would like to welcome Teleysha Smith, she will be one of our 3rd grade teachers.
My name is Teleysha Smith, and I was born and raised in Arizona. I married a graduate, and together we raised our six children here in this wonderful valley. Although our family spent a few years in Utah while pursuing our education, we were grateful to return home to the community we love. I earned my undergraduate degree in Music Education, along with a teaching certificate with a reading emphasis, and recently completed my master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction. After spending 16 years teaching music at every grade level, I discovered that my true passion is helping students grow across all subject areas. I believe learning is most meaningful when students can connect what they are studying to their culture, their community, and their future. I am excited to begin this new chapter as a third-grade teacher at Fort Thomas School District and look forward to building relationships with my students, partnering with families, and creating a classroom where every child feels valued, challenged, and inspired to learn.
