WE BELIEVE that the Bells Ferry community (our staff, parents and students) should foster the social development of our students based on recognized values that promote good citizenship.

First in Math

First In Math® is an easy-to-use, educational website that gets young people excited about math. The specially-designed "games" develop and reinforce basic concepts, and are a great way for students to have fun while learning skills that will last a lifetime. Studies show that children who use the site on a regular basis experience significant improvement in math proficiency.

The content of the site ranges from addition to algebra, and children proceed at their own pace—mastering problem-solving, computation, critical-thinking and pattern-recognition skills—as they advance through the levels of the program.

There is no software to install, games play on a PC or Mac, and updates are automatic. Each child receives his or her own, personal User ID and Password, and will be able to play the games 24/7 at school or at home. Explore the site with your child and discover a great learning experience!  Thank you Ms. Starnes for funding this exciting program!

Log on to www.firstinmath.com.   Ask your child for their log-in and have fun!!!

Mrs. Vance's Biography

      I was born and raised in Ft.Lauderdale, Florida.  That's why I am a Gator fan!. I received my Bachelor's degree and Master's degree from Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Florida. We moved to Marietta 14 years ago.  I taught in Florida for many years and then I was a stay-at-home mom except for 7 years of being a substitute teacher when my children went to school.  I have been working for Cobb County for 10 years.

    I have a grown daughter, a son, and a grandson who is 8 years old.  My husband and I have been married almost 38 years.  We have a 11 year old black lab named Barkley.  I enjoy traveling. I have visited 8 countries in Europe and I have been to Guatemala.  I went on a cruise to Alaska and it was a trip of a lifetime.      

    I love to teach and I have the best class in the world this year!!!!!
