As we approach the close of the school year, it's crucial for all 9th graders to have their individual Career and Academic Plan (iCAP) established. 8th graders should be actively working on their iCAP to ensure it’s ready by the end of the year. Additionally, any 10th or 11th graders facing academic or career challenges should also have an iCAP. This program is designed for all students, including regular and special education. Review the suggested calendar for updates and explore graduation pathway options, ensuring every student has the necessary support.
