Top Ten Facts Every Parent Should Know About Business Education
Business Education courses offer something for everyone! Help your son or daughter become a well-rounded individual able to
cope not only with the complexities of academics but the practical necessities of life.
1. Develop “Life Skills” Needed by All Consumers - Business courses help students develop skills and knowledge used in important decisions later in life such as buying a house or car, choosing the appropriate insurance, filing tax returns, and directing
their personal and professional lives.
2. Expand Your Teenager’s Education Opportunities - Business courses add new dimensions to learning through hands-on experiences. Most students learn better this way.
3. Offer Your Son or Daughter a Path to Success - Nationwide, 50 percent of all students who begin four-year college programs do
not complete them, with 25 percent leaving during their first year. Business courses are insurance for economic productivity.
4. Help Your Child Acquire Lifelong Skills and Habits to Apply to Any Career - Self-confidence, self-awareness, good work habits, problem solving, critical thinking, punctuality, reliability, teamwork, technology skills, and leadership are learned in business
classes. These help instill the self-assurance young people need to set and achieve their career goals.
5. Provide Your Teenager Opportunities to Apply Academic Content - Business courses enable students to apply theoretical
knowledge to practical problems in real-life situations — applications that will be used for a lifetime.
6. Provide Two Educational Options in One – College Prep and Career Prep - Business courses include academic subjects needed
to meet the entrance requirements of colleges and universities. They also include subjects that meet entry-level job requirements of
employers in fields related to the courses.
7. Pretest Career Interests Before Going to College - Encourage your teenager to explore career interests through the many courses
we offer in our Business Education department.
8. Help Your Daughter or Son Pay for College - The skills acquired in business courses help students get better, higher-paying jobs.
Students can work full-time and earn more money — more quickly — to pay for college.
9. Broaden Your Teenager’s Lifelong Work and Study Options - After taking business courses, your teenager has the option to go
to work, go to college, or do both, whenever he or she is ready! Business courses prepare individuals for well-paying, satisfying
careers in fields such as information technology and international business.
10. Develop a Solid Foundation of Practical Virtues Necessary for Getting Along with Others - Business courses can help students
recognize and deal with questions of right and wrong, as well as issues of honesty and respect for others.
日本語を勉強しましょう
NEW CLASS for 2014-15: JAPANESE 3
Have you heard that Japanese is the easiest language to learn at CHS? Don’t let the fancy characters fool you. Sentence
structure and pronunciation are simple and straight forward. Music, Miyazaki, and food make up for having to learn a
new alphabet. It looks great on school and job applications. Japanese offers a boost to your future business career and
gives you the key to the gateway of Asia.
Japanese 3 is going strong, as more than half the class prepare to go to Japan this summer. In their 3rd year of studying, students have been invited to the small village of Tsumagoi. Students will be staying with families there for over a
week. 9th graders from Tsumagoi have been coming to Coeur d’Alene for the past 25 years-now it is our turn!
Don’t miss out. Get signed up for Japanese 1 next year. All grades (9-12) are welcome. For those looking for a third language, many students do well taking 1st year Japanese while in the 3rd or 4th year of another language. Contact
カリスター先生(Mr. Callister) at [email protected] if you have questions.

Below you will find helpful instructions from the
Attendance Office
**When your student will be absent for the day, we ask that you notify the school that day.
This can be done by choosing; 1) E-mail from a parent or guardian to [email protected] 2) Call the attendance office at 765-6409. 3) Excuse absence electronically using Skyward. If you are not able to do one of the following, you can send your student to school with a note. Please note that we need your note within 2 days of your student being absent in order to be excused.
**When your student has an appointment in the middle of school hours and needs to leave the school.
This can be done by sending your student to school with a note; stating the time and date, full name of student,
parent signature and explanation for your student’s dismissal. The student brings the note to the attendance secretary in the morning and is issued a student campus pass that they show to their teachers at the appropriate time.
From there they can leave. When students return they will need to check back in with the attendance secretary
prior to going to class. (Notes from doctor’s appointments are helpful, but not necessary.)
**When you need to get your student suddenly out of school.
You can call the school in advance, giving us plenty of time to run for your student, and we can have your student
waiting for you to pick them up.
Please know that the attendance office needs to be contacted by a parent, and students need to report to the attendance office PRIOR to them leaving the school. Students leaving the school without prior approval will be
marked truant. Refer to Student handbook on Truancy
**Please note that students who miss more than 9 absences in a semester must pass the EOCA’S ( end
of course assessments) in order to retain credit for their class, regardless if they are passing the class
or not.
** To receive a Verification of Compliance from the State of Idaho for Drivers education/permit, the same guidelines as EOCA’s are followed. It is so important for your students not to miss too much instruction time. We encourage you to view your student’s attendance records on Skyward regularly.
