Unpaid Fines
If your student has an unpaid fine/fee on their account, we encourage you to clear these fines as soon as possible.
Fines/Fees can be paid in person at the Business Office. Due to technical issues with our software, we are unable to process credit card or apple pay payments. We can only accept cash or checks. Please make checks payable to Borah High school.
Unpaid fines/fees will remain on your account until paid. This may result in a delay/withholding of yearbook, cap and gown, and/or diploma.
Please email me with any questions or concerns. Please include your student's name.
Sincerely,
Jessica Lotridge

Econ Summit Winners
Congratulation Team Ireland (left to right: Joe Neisen, Kevin Chester, Liam Savage, Bridget Mason, Dillon Young.)
In the summit program, student teams act as economic and financial advisors to an assigned country. Their goal is to earn points through a variety of activities, assignments, and quizzes, both in class before the summit and during a summit event, to increase the standard of living in their country. As students complete summit activities with their team, they earn points toward increasing their country’s standard of living. This semester, team Ireland won the entire summit against 70 other teams from Borah, Capital, and Boise high schools.
Stock Market Game Winners
Congratulations Matt Knight and Ellie Schatz
Playing individually or in teams of up to five, students use a simulation with an imaginary investment of $100,000 to trade stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and exchange-traded funds on the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. Students conduct research and follow global news that can impact financial markets, then place trades in real time via computer or the SMG smartphone app, competing with peers in their classroom and with teams across the state to increase their portfolio value. Out of over 300 teams from across Idaho, Matt Knight and Ellie Schatz came in 1st place!

Library News
Library books (and any Language Arts copies) are now due to return. If your student needs the text to finish an assignment please do so, and then return item/s asap.
Your student may read year-round from our district online eBook and audiobook collections. From the Borah Library website click “Digital Reading.” I suggest reading from our Sora collection and Comics Plus. Lower on the same page you will see simple instructions to apply for a Boise Public Library card. Boise Public Library offers so much more than just books!
Sophomores and Juniors returning to Borah will keep their chromebook and cord for next year. Please charge at home. It is bad for the batteries to go dead for long periods of time.
Seniors will return chromebooks and cords to the Library when they no longer need them for AP testing and finals. Arrange with your counselor if your Senior is doing summer school courses.
