IMPORTANT
UPDATES: *Please return Internet
Safety Forms as soon as possible. Thank You.
*Attention New Students
to Sts. Peter & Paul: If you are in grades 1-6, you will need a set of earbuds or headphones for computer
class. We use these when we are working on keyboarding. Please put them in a ziplock baggie (for lice protection)
with your first and last names and grade on the bag. They will stay in the bins in the Lab and be kept for the following
year.
*I only send home Interim reports if your child's
grade is in danger at that point in the quarter. Periodically, I will sent home a progress report near the end of the
quarter, if a test or quiz is coming up that will make or break a final quarter grade.

*Visit my webpage at least monthly for updates and the newsletter. *Tests and quizzes look VERY similar to the
study guides. Please review them.
*Please continue to turn in old cell phones or ink cartridges for our recycling program.
Every little bit helps the technology fund. Thank you for your support. *All lessons taught
or activities completed in Computer class follow the Cleveland Diocese 'Course of Study' which is developed from the
State of Ohio's 'Course of Study'. Also, activities are integrated into the subject areas whenever possible,
which is one our Professional Development Plan goals mandated by the Cleveland Diocese. If you have any questions about what
is taught in Computer class or any other questions, please use my email link and send me an email.
