Welcome to Personal & Business Economics

Picture
Dear Students and Parents/Guardians:

Welcome to Personal & Business Economics!   In this course, students learn how to manage finances as they relate to further education, business, life and career.  

All students are responsible for arriving to class on time and promptly beginning daily assignments.  Likewise, students are required to observe all school and classroom rules and procedures.  Our classroom rule is to practice good citizenship. In order to do this, students are to be patient; to be kind; to treat others, as they want to be treated; to work wholeheartedly, and to be respectful of me, of each other and of our classroom.  

Grades are determined according to the following course requirements:

·         Class work/Homework
·         Projects
·         Quizzes
·         Tests

For supplies, students need to have a pen or pencil daily.  Students are also expected to join Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), the organization for students enrolled in business and information technology classes.  The Virginia Department of Education considers membership in FBLA to be an important part in developing your child’s employability skills.  Membership dues are $12.

In closing, please feel free to contact me.  I am available before and after school at 804-541-6402, and I welcome you to email me anytime at [email protected].    If you desire a conference, please call ahead of time, and I will be happy to schedule a time to meet.
