Welcome

My name is Margaret Seaton - my friends call me Marty.  I am one of the Special Education Teachers.  The 2023-24 school year is my 35th year working with special needs students and my 13th year at GMS.  My students are awesome!  I provide inclusion support to students in their core academic classes and with reading skills.  Also, I case manage for 6th grade students requiring Individual Education Plans (IEPs).  I am a Coach for a boys' 6th grade Leader in Me group (Devil Time), and I teach two Intervention Classes with students who need Tier IV assistance in reading and math. 

 

On a personal note, I am a Christian who attends First Baptist Church where I enjoy being an uncertified sign language interpreter for our deaf members.  I have been married for 32 years and have two wonderful grown children and a son-in-law.  Our fur baby, Bella, is a precious mixed-breed dog that joined our fur-ever family in 2019.  Besides teaching and signing, I enjoy reading, Bible journaling, visiting with friends and family, and walking for exercise.

 

The best time to reach me by telephone would be during my planning time (12:15pm to 1:25pm) daily at the GMS main telephone number (423-639-7841).  You are welcome to email me anytime at [email protected].
