8th Grade IGP/High School Registration Conferences...

To 8^th grade parents:

8^th Grade IGP/High School Registration Conferences

All 8th grade students will create an Individual Graduation Plan (IGP) and choose a *career cluster during an IGP conference session. The conference participants will include: the rising freshman student, parent, counselor, career specialist and high school counselor. Our IGPs are held in conjunction with the high school registration conference for your convenience; one conference, one trip!

The IGP is part of the career planning process. It builds on the coursework, career assessments and counseling. It is a schedule outlining the courses necessary for the student to successfully prepare for graduation. Students will update their IGPs annually, giving them the flexibility to change their career cluster should their interest change.

*Career Cluster:  A career cluster is a way of organizing and tailoring course work within a specific occupational group, for example, health science or business. They serve to help student learning and course selection.

Blythewood Middle School’s IGP/ High School Registration conferences will be held in April.

Please refer to our web site, blog and school calendar for dates. Parents will receive letters with appointment dates/times.

If you have questions about the middle to high school transition/career planning process, feel free to contact Lara Schmitz, Career Development Facilitator; lschmitz@richland2.org
