Welcome to the 2011-2012 School Year here at East Coweta Middle School.  I am very excited about working with your child this nine weeks.  Keyboarding is a "hands on" class where your child must do their lessons during class.  The main objective for the course is to educate a child on proper keying technique while adapting to modern technolgy resources.  I have attached a class syllabus for your convenience which explains my classroom procedures, class objectives and grading system.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at the school 770-599-6607 or e-mail me at cathe.fisher@cowetaschools.org.
