Missing/Make-Up Assignments
This is not an advanced Keyboarding class. Every student will have enough class time to finish assignments. There will be one makeup day a week (usually Friday) when students will NOT be given any new assignments. If a student misses several days of school and cannot get caught up during regular class time including make-up days, he or she may come in during lunch recess or during a study hall.
Parent Corner
Students need to practice new keys at home. They will be learning several new keys a week for the first few weeks. It is very imperative students learn the correct way to type or they will struggle second 9 weeks.
This class rarely has homework and most of the work has to be done during class time. There will be ample time to finish assignments in class.
