Mrs. McWalters
Welcome to 8th Grade Math!
Room C-2
- Hello and welcome to 8th grade math class! 🖐
- The best way to reach me is by email at amcwalters@htsdnj.org. You should expect a response within 24 hours during the week and on Monday morning if your email is sent on the weekend.
- This is my fifth year at Reynolds and I am looking forward to getting to know you this year where together we will talk about how math affects us and how we use math in everyday life.
- I expect math learners to be prepared with a binder, paper, pencil/eraser and a "can-do" attitude.
ATTENTION Parents/Guardians:
1. Please visit your child’s Powerschool Portal to view ALL upcoming due dates for assessments, projects and homework.
2. Students will be given 1 WEEK to complete and submit a formative or summative assignment. Teachers will use their discretion about dropping points for late assignments. If not handed in for partial credit after one week, the assignment will receive a "0".
3. Assignments that are not submitted on time will have a “0” place holder UNTIL the assignment is completed and submitted. Once a grade is placed, the "0" is removed.
The district grading policy will be followed:
Summative: 50% tests and projects
Formative: 40% quizzes and class participation
Individual Practice: 10% homework, summer work, and math center activities
