Here are the directions for students to log into Typing Pal.
Students in grades 1st-6th have free and universal access to our keyboarding program, Typing Pal. The great thing about Typing Pal is that students can practice their keyboarding skills from any computer with Internet access.
Once students reach the Typing Pal web site, they will need to login using their credentials.
USERNAME: last name, first name initial, middle name initial - with NO spaces or other characters - some students may have a one or other number after this combination of letters.
PASSWORD: Dcsd and then their student ID (AKA lunch number). For example: Dcsd12345. Please note the password is case sensitive.
If at anytime during the login you are asked for an "Institution Code" you will need to enter: DCSDCSMS
Once logged in, students can work through the exercises or complete practice texts.
Students are encouraged to practice their keyboarding at home and/or in the classroom when time is available. Please reach out to your student's classroom teacher if you have questions.
