Please read following documents with a Friday, August 15, 2008 deadline for returning page 7 with both student and parent signatures required for enrollment in the 8th grade computer class at Carmody Middle School. Both of these forms can also be read and printed out at home or work from the following URL’s provided below.

  1. Student Contract (pages 2 through 7) with emphasis on classroom behavior, individual rewards, consequences, grading criteria, extra-credit, bonus points, class web site that includes on-line Internet grades 24/7, curriculum, lesson plans, late and make-up policies, work, phone contact and V.I.P. e-mail communication opportunities all to better stay up-to-date with your child’s learning endeavors. URL is: <http://www.kuzmich.com/carmody/contract8.html>.

  2. Need parent e-mail addresses on page 7 form. Be sure to note that it would be very much appreciated if you could provide an e-mail address with required Student Contract form to be filled out by parents so that Dr. Data can send you weekly class newsletters. These newsletters will keep you up-to-date about what's taking place in his classes. And if your e-mail address works as written, your child will earn an additional 50 points besides the 100 points for returning the required Student Contract form. That's a total of 150 points in your child's grade book!

  3. Success Guaranteed in Dr. Data's Classes if Students/Parents Follow These Guidelines! (Pages 9, 10, and 11). URL is: <http://www.kuzmich.com/carmody/Success.html>.

  4. Carmody offers a computer club (Whiz Chips Club) open to all students at Carmody that meets every Monday from 2:20 to 3 p.m. in the PC Lab. Students will learn how to construct computer games with graphical animation effects and sound effects.

Hope this information assists your child and you in knowing how to maximize learning in the 8th grade elective computer class at Carmody Middle School. For more information about the Carmody Middle School 8th Grade Elective Class, go to: <http://www.kuzmich.com/carmody/Carmody_Opening.htm>.
