Thank you for introducing EVERFI: Financial Literacy in your classroom as part of Fidelity Financial Forward for high schools!

 

We value your commitment to teaching real-world skills and to bringing financial literacy to your classroom. To keep your students learning, we’ve provided resources below to share the Fidelity Financial Forward program with their families. These tools will help students and their families talk about what they learned, why they learned it, and how to practice their skills moving forward. They’ll also give your families access to unique opportunities to engage with Fidelity!

This toolkit features messaging and graphics for the learning management system, communication apps, newsletters and/or email systems that you already use to speak with families. We’ve provided materials that help families talk about the personal finance and investing topics that your students learned about in EVERFI: Financial Literacy and tools to further explore these topics with Fidelity.

Fidelity provides you with resources and tools to help your students put their financial learnings into practice, so they can get a head start on building a future of financial freedom.

Fidelity Youth™, is a free app (1) built for teens ages 13–17, where your students and start applying their learnings in the real world by beginning to invest with the Fidelity Youth Account and as little as $1, and their parent or guardian can maintain oversight and safeguards as their teens develop and practice good money and investing habits.

Dear Parent and/or Guardian,

Having a solid understanding of financial literacy is a critical life skill, and it’s one that can be taught both in the classroom and at home.

Through the Fidelity Financial Forward® for high schools program, your child is beginning their financial journey in the classroom by completing EVERFI: Financial Literacy, a digital program that teaches students how to make wise financial decisions to promote financial well-being over their lifetime. Through interactive, real-life scenarios, students explore complex financial concepts and gain actionable strategies for managing their finances. In this course, students cover fundamental financial topics such as banking basics, financing higher education, employment and taxes, insurance, and more.

I am eager for your student to participate in this innovative, engaging educational experience at school. To continue the conversation with your child at home and find out how to help them apply their knowledge to real life, you can visit the FinancialForward.EVERFI.com to continue to support your student in their financial literacy journey. I hope that you will visit the site ttogether and make a plan to put their learning into action!

Please reach out with any questions.

Best Regards,
