Welcome to my homepage. The eighth grade
year is a wonderful and challenging one for everyone. Our main goal is to help
all students succeed academically as well as personally to help prepare them
for high school. The students in eighth grade complete an average of 1-1 1/2
hours of homework a night (total for all classes). If students ever forget what
their assignments are or if they are absent, they should call their teachers'
homework voicemail or visit that teacher’s webpage.
I prefer to be reached by email. My email
address is szychmn@mansfieldct.org.
I can also be reached by phone at 429-9341 ext. 303. My homework hotline
extension is 6303, but my homework assignments are listed on the webpage—click
the link at the top of the page.
