Typing Requirements

 

Students may waive 5 of the required Typing/Computer credits by passing a typing test with at least 30 wpm. This test must be administrated by the ES, and can be taken from any software program or from any free online program (i.e. http://www.freetypinggame.net/free-typing-test.asp or  www.typingtest.com).
The ES should put a copy of the resulting printout from the typing test in the student’s folder, mail a copy to the Waterford Office, and mark the transcript in FRED. (mark the X by the box that says “typing test” in the credit summary). The student must do 5 additional life skills credits in lieu of the 5 waived typing credits.

Optional Information

Here’s a great typing website to teach students how to type! The kids love it (even the older kids), and it adjusts their levels as they improve!
