Grading: Homework is practice and receives a check in grade which counts at 10% of the final grade. It is important to complete assignments on time as they count as 100% when completed on time 50% if late and 0% if not turned in. Tests and projects carry the equal value and count as 50% of the grade. A rubric or grading scale is always presented before the project's due date to ensure earning the most available points. Another 20% of the grade is on classwork. Involvement and participation earn the final 20% of the grade.

Contact information. Please feel free to contact me via Fastdirect or at szwedo@iccowboys.net with any questions, comments, or concerns. I am here for your child and for you for any reason, big or small!

Remember no talking during tests! Complete your homework on time. Participate in class and ask questions. Become an active, organized and engaged student before you leave us for high school.

Homework and due dates can be found on GOOGLE CLASSROOM EACH DAY, but...
REMEMBER HOMEWORK IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. BE SURE TO USE YOUR ASSIGNMENT NOTEBOOK IN CLASS!
A = 100-93
B= 92-85
C= 84-77
D = 76-69
U = 68 and below

50% tests and projects
20% classwork
20% participation
10% homework
Graded work that is not completed on time earns a grade of zero until it is turned in with 10 points taken for each day it is late; therefore it is so important to complete assignments on time!!!!
