Dear Carmody 7th Grade Elective Computer Class Parents and Students:
  1. Grades continue to be posted <http://www.kuzmich.com/carmody/Grades.html> on a daily basis through December 16th for your benefit. This way you can check the grades daily to better monitor your child's work. Though this will involve consider work on my part to post the grades daily, it will be done to better assist you. Starting next week, I will also start to post all of the semester grades so you can anticipate the final semester grade as well.

    If I should not see the day's grades posted on-line by 4 p.m. daily, Dr. Data will do it after 11 p.m. that same day so by midnight that same day or by breakfast of the next day, you'll will certainly have an accurate picture of what your child is doing during the last two weeks in anticipation of a successful closure for the semester! If this posting of grades is important, I may do it daily starting next semester.

  2. Now have 100 grades on-line since the first day of school. The goal is for your child to be able to use computers for all kinds of software applications on a moment's notice. And if they never take another computer class between now and upon high school graduation, they are computer literate in the following software applications:

  3. A free career planning web site is now available at: <http://www.kuzmich.com/carmody/Grades.html>. We are getting it via Bear Creek High School. It is well worth using. Just e-mail a request for the user name and password and I'll give that information to you.

  4. You must, must see the PowerPoint Slide Shows and web sites on-line that have been done this past week. There's a lot graphical projects that will not disappoint you. They are posted at: http://www.kuzmich.com/carmody/power_point_projects.html. Note: you must use Microsoft Explorer in order to view the slide shows. And next week, you will be able to download many students' computer games that they have designed and created all from this same web site.

  5. Next week Dr. Data will start posting Klik & Play computer games on-line that were done by our students. Student will be able to download the game files via an web browser FTP capabilities that I have set up. Students will need to e-mail a request for directions on how to do it that will also include a special user name and a password. Now our students will be able to play the best games at home via the FTP capabilities that I've added to my web site. Student also will be able to upload their latest games during second semester. So we will develop quite a library of Klik & Play computer games.

  6. Sometime next semester: all assignments will be posted on-line for convenience for parents and students to download the assignments 24/7.

  7. All twenty-one newsletters are also posted on-line for your perusal at: <http://www.kuzmich.com/parent_newsletters.html>.

Thank you again for the opportunity to teach your child. Please look for the daily grade updates starting today at: <http://www.kuzmich.com/carmody/Grades.html> by 4 p.m. or earlier or by midnight that same day.

Till next time,

Dr. Data
