Ms. Schwartz's Website

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts. - Sir Winston Churchill

Hi! My name is Ms. Schwartz and welcome to my website. This year I am teaching Math 7 and Math 8 at Elizabeth Sutherland School.  I will post homework here (under Homework, then choose your class). You can also find links to external websites that you may find useful.


Students can find class handouts, assignments and resources for all classes on Google Classroom. Google classroom codes are under your class homework link. If you need help accessing Google Classroom please see me ASAP!


PLEASE READ: Due to student privacy, students are not allowed to voice record lectures. Some notes are available on Google Classroom. If a student is unable to take notes, a handout can be provided ahead of time. Thank you.

Communication of Learning: Student learning will be communicated with home in a variety of ways over the course of the school year:

Power School: attendance updated at the beginning or end of each class, assignments/projects updated to show if they are received on the due date and assessment marks are updated bi-weekly.

Email: if a student appears at-risk due to an academic or behavioral problem, home will be notified via e-mail first.

Telephone: if the academic or behavioral problem continues, after having spoken with the student and contacting home via e-mail, home will be contacted by phone and parents/guardians may be asked to come in for a meeting.

Google Classroom: some class notes may be posted at the end of the day or at the end of class.

Twitter: I will occasionally tweet about school events, key assessments, major projects, etc... via @mmes_math


Classroom expectations: To be successful in my class you need to be:

on time

prepared with necessary materials

able to log-in to your Power School account

able to use your @gnspes.ca e-mail

able to use Google classroom

willing to listen

Have a great day!

-Mme S.
