I would appreciate being addressed as Mr. Bellis.
I am looking forward to teaching this year’s curriculum. I hope that we can build a community, incorporating all the students and staff at DHS.
“Where one goes, we all go.”

5. Outside of the classroom…
I go to workshops, conferences, in-service meetings, college classes, and seminars.
I also read professional journals and work together with my fellow teachers.
As an Earth Scientist I have conducted mathematics based research.
I am telling you this to let you know that I am up to date as a professional.

6. You are going to have one of the greatest educational experiences of your life this year. You will meet new friends, explore amazing concepts, stand up in front of your peers, conduct your own research, play games, and experience success. Welcome to our classroom, and I look forward to getting to know you more.
Sincerely,
