Always have a title for your assignments on the first line of the paper!

Do we have to write this?

Yes!!!  Rule of Thumb for this class: If I write it, you write it.

Do we have to do Science Fair?

Only if you are in a Pre-AP class.  These students are required to do 
projects.  However, should a 
student in a regular 7th grade science class want to enter the fair, they 
may get the information and 
due dates from me and it will count as a major grade (possibly replacing a 
low test grade in the same 
category).

Do I put my late work in the normal tray?

No!!!  Late work goes in the blue late work bin in the front of the 
classroom.  There is a big RED sign 
that says "LATE WORK" on it.  Follow the instructions on this sheet of paper.

How do I read my grades on Gradespeed?

If there is a zero in a place, that means that the time for accepting the 
work late has passed and the 
grade will remain a zero.  
If the student can still turn in the assignment late, the letters 'msg' will 
appear in a box for a 
particular grade.  This averages a zero into the student's average so that 
they know what not turning 
it in will do to their grade.  
An empty box means that I have not entered grades for the assignment yet, 
but it has been turned 
in.
