BUSINESS EDUCATION PHILOSOPHY:

Business education is a planned educational process that includes knowledge, concepts, and skills that will benefit all students in becoming productive workers, informed consumers, competent users of technology, and responsible citizens. It should be an integral part of the education of every student.

WELCOME TO ACCOUNTING!

Respecting EVERYONE in the classroom

Working hard to complete assignments

Negative behavior that is not allowed in the business atmosphere includes:

Being loud and disruptive

Getting out of your seat, leaving your workstation without permission

Being disrespectful to ANYONE in the room

Abusive language

During the course of the year, students will be completing the accounting cycle for several types of businesses and also participating in an accounting simulation activity.
