TO PARENTS OF BUSINESS EDUCATION CAREER PREPARATION STUDENTS
Welcome to the Business Education Career Preparation program. I am looking forward to a very rewarding school year. The Cooperative Education program is a triangle of learning activities consisting of a one-hour class, a minimum of 15 hours on-the-job training at an approved training station, and leadership training through the Business Professionals of America Club. Throughout the year we will have Club activities. During the second school semester, students will have the opportunity to go to Area, State, and National Business Professionals of America Conferences. I urge you to encourage your child to participate in club activities and contests/competition
State law requires each student to work a minimum of 15 hours per week. As teacher-coordinator, I will visit your son or daughter on the job many times during the school year. Your son’s or daughter’s training station supervisor will be asked to fill out an evaluation form regarding their performance on the job during each six-week’s grading period. No student is allowed to change training stations without the teacher’s approval.
The most immediate situation which needs your attention is that if your son or daughter has not become employed in an approved training station by the second week of school (September 4, 2009) his/her schedule will be changed to remove the student from the Cooperative Education program. I will work with each of these students to help them find proper employment. It is up to the student to present himself/herself in such a manner as to become employed.
As in most clubs, there is a dues requirement. Business Professionals of America state and national dues are approximately $25. We will have one fund-raising activity to raise money for other expenses such as registration fees for BPA competitions, and appreciation plaques for the supervisors of our training stations. The total dues for the year will be $25.
I am very happy to have your child in my class this school year. I will do my best to make this school year a positive and beneficial learning experience for your student. If you have any questions, please call me at (281)-891-7102 or email me at
