Senior Advisory

Monday

• Visit https://hrblock.budgetchallenge.com/ 
• You will need to setup a teacher registration for H&R block budget challenge and then create your class. 
• I thought you might want to create your class name with your students.
• By creating a class you will then receive a code that your students will need upon registration. We are NOT registering students today.
• The date range for the challenge is Feb 13th through April 16th. You can't register until 2 weeks prior to the start date, so we will have to register next week. 
• Today I would like you to watch the very brief video introducing the budget challenge. 
• Once you have watched the video make sure that all of your students know how to access their school gmail account because they will have to use it for this challenge.
• I have printed a couple articles for you to use in your classroom today. The first article What is the Budget Challenge? describes a little more about what the challenge actually is and what students should be able to do. 
• The second article is a brief blog from the site about How to get organized.
