Mrs. Fink 2026-2027

A Little About Me...

My name is Mrs. Fink, and I am excited to begin my 15th year of teaching at CMS! Throughout my teaching career, I have had the opportunity to teach both Physical Education and Health, and I am happy to continue working with students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Health this year.

I graduated from Kean University with a Bachelor’s degree in Health and Physical Education. I have always had a strong interest in health and wellness, and I enjoy helping students learn practical skills they can use to take care of themselves and their families. My goal is to make Health a meaningful and engaging class where students can learn things that will benefit them throughout their lives.

I am also the girls volleyball coach here at CMS, which gives me another opportunity to work with and get to know our students. I truly believe that “your health is your true wealth,” and I look forward to sharing that message with my students this year.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns!

Grading

Late and Missing Assignments:

Parents are encouraged to check their child’s assignments and grades through the Parent Portal.

If an assignment is turned in one day late, the grade will be lowered 5 points.
If an assignment is turned in two days late, the grade will be lowered 10 points.
If an assignment is turned in three days late, the grade will be lowered 15 points; however, the lowest grade that will be posted in the grade book is a 50.
If a student does not turn in the assignment after the third day, a zero (0) is posted in the grade book.
A student will receive a grade no lower than a 50 for a serious attempt at the assignment, even though the actual grade may be less than that. This is to encourage the student to do the homewor

Absences and Make Up Work:

We recognize that a child may be absent from school. Students who are absent are responsible for making up all classwork and homework assignments. Students are permitted two days for each day absent to make up any missed work. If an absence exceeds three days, parents may contact their child’s guidance counselor and request work. Teachers will set up due dates for multiple missed classwork and homework assignments. This allows for timely completion and teacher discretion, which may include importance of the assignment and relevance to current work.
