Business & Computer Science
Hello,
My name is Mr. James. I will be teaching the Foundation classes for business and the 8th Grade Introduction to Business & Technology class for 9th Grade credit. I am married and have 3 children. I grew up in Augusta, GA and graduated from Augusta State University. I have been teaching since 2012 and I am excited to be your teacher. I am also a Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) advocate. I like learning new things and I hope you will too!
The best way to reach me is by email at [email protected]. I will reply to you as soon as possible, usually within 24 hours.
Google Classroom will be used to deliver instructions to students and the place for students to complete and turn in their assignments. Google Classroom links are listed at the bottom of the page. Classes are listed just as they would be on your schedule (For example: 6p5 Foundations of Business Administration - where 6p5: the 6 is the grade, the "p" means period, and 5 is the class period.)
I will be updating the page as the semester progresses. Please check back for updates.
