About me

Hello and welcome! My name is Ms. McHenry and I’m so happy to be your teacher this year. Although this is my second year at Walters Middle School, it is my ninth year teaching middle school and my seventeenth year in education. 


Students, learning is far from linear. It’s full of ups and downs, with some topics coming easily and others requiring more time, patience, and additional help. In this class, we ask questions, make mistakes, and take risks so that we can learn to the best of our ability. Please think of me as your guide on this learning adventure. 


Parents, please think of me as your partner. As a parent myself, I know how important the home-school connection is and I want to do my part to make sure that you have anything that you need to support your child. Please do not hesitate to reach out and I’ll do my best to respond promptly. 


If you are able to support our classroom through donations, please do so via our Amazon Wishlist (link) and stay tuned for upcoming DonorsChoose projects that may be posted through the year. Also, please consider joining our Warriors Community Connection PTO (website), which does so much good for our school. Thank you!
