Good Attendance ◦ Success in keyboarding depends on the student BEING in class. The majority of our work is done in class, so it is imperative that students miss as little time as possible. ◦ If your child is absent, it is their responsibility to schedule a time to complete the missed lesson. I will be available during resource (6 th block) or after school on Tuesday’s. Be on time ◦ Students should be waiting outside my classroom quietly or in their seats when the bell rings.
Practice ◦ Although practice is not graded in my class. Practicing at home is an integral part of the learning process. I recommend that students practice for approximately minutes daily. ◦ If they Google Keyboarding websites or go to my website, they will find links to appropriate practice sites.
