Student Success Planning Process
Attend 6th grade and 8th grade tours
Each Spring, 6th graders and 8th graders will have the opportunity to attend informational nights to help plan for future courses. These nights are important to introducing students to courses, electives, and club opportunities. School staff will be available to assist students and parents with questions and scheduling advice.
Review the course catalog
All information available to students will be in the Course Catalog. Taking time to read through the course catalog and understand the recommended course pathways and Graduation pathways will help students plan their future opportunities.
Review your student's ICAP information.
8th grade students complete ICAP information to help identify areas of interest and the career fields associated with those interests. While we understand that this information is only a small piece of who your student is as a person, considering the information discovered in your student's ICAP results can help students identify areas of interest for course opportunities and graduation pathways.
Review Academic Strengths
Review any academic strengths and consider enrolling in advanced or accelerated courses in those areas.
Review Academic Deficits
Review any academic deficits and plan appropriate academic supports and intervention programs to assist in successful completion of the courses.
Choose a Graduation Pathway
Choose the graduation pathway that best supports your student's goals after graduation. Graduation pathways offer a variety of opportunities for students like IRC (industry recognized credentials), certificates, associate's degrees, and advanced placement (AP) credits.
Choose an Elective Pathway
Choose elective interests. Any course above the graduation requirements counts as an elective. See the pathway charts in course pathways and detailed course descriptions to help determine desired courses. Theses courses may be career interests or hobby interests. Choose an interest where you can show commitment to come individual program while in high school. Students may change pathways or explore more than one pathway, but a long-term commitment to at least one high school pursuit is advantageous to the subsequent college or career search.
