Hello,

My name is Sophia Franz and I am your child's 6th grade math teacher!  I am very excited to start the 20-21 school year and look forward to meeting you and your child.  I was born in Walnut Creek, California, but have lived in the Reno/Sparks area for most of my life.  I received my teaching degree from UNR and have my master's in education through the WCSD.  I have taught at Mount Rose ES, Verdi ES, Marvin Moss ES and am now at Mendive MS.  I was also a Literacy Specialist at Bud Beasley and a Consulting Teacher for 4 years, where I oversaw 20 schools and supported hundreds of novice and veteran teachers.

I am married to my wonderful husband, John and we have a blended family.  Our four kids attended Moss, Mendive and Reed.  It is really something special to be teaching at their old middle school.  Two of our kiddos are juniors in college and the other two are just beginning their freshman year in college.  Outside of school, I enjoy working out, cooking, baking and mainly spending time with my family.

I am very excited to meet all of you and can't wait to get the school year underway.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Franz
