The financial and economic picture across the United States has brought attention to the need for financial literacy. This year, Bancroft-Rosalie School will be adding a nine week financial literacy for eighth grade students. This course will be taught in place of the computers course offered in the past. Mrs. Hennig will teach financial literacy.
The curriculum will include the following topics:
1. Checkbook - opening an account and balancing
2. Savings account - interest
3. Credit Cards - what is interest, compound interest and what do you look for
4. Loans vs. grant when going to college
5. Basic Insurance
It will taught during the second quarter of the school year.
