Can you believe summer is over? Now it is time to come back to school ready to learn, motivated to do your best with a good attitude. BE THE BEST STUDENT YOU CAN BE and good things will come your way.

What is Computer Application?

It is an introductory computer class that you will learn computer terms and concepts, troubleshooting, Internet, and Microsoft Office 2003 (Word, Excel-Spreadsheets, Access-Database, and PowerPoint).

The Internet will be used in my class periodically. By signing this syllabus you are agreeing to allow your child usage of the Internet. If the computers and Internet are not used properly disciplinary action will be given.

Attendance: All work is done on computers and books can not leave my classroom. Therefore, missed work can not be completed at home. When you miss class it is important that you make arrangements with me to make-up missed work before or after school. It is important for you to be in class everyday.

My goal is for our students to be successful. A way of doing this is to create an open channel of communication between you and me. Please feel free to call me during my planning period 10:25-11:15 at 741-4935 or the easiest way to reach me is by email [email protected]. I would love to hear from you.

Wow! As you can see, we have an exciting year planned. I am looking forward to making this class one of the best experiences in education that you can possibly have as a student. So, let’s have a great year!
