Postsecondary Options

Step 2: Document your Plan

Seniors Survey

For Seniors, a Senior Survey occurs every year. The data collected is used to build scattergrams in Naviance. The information provided helps our schools and the district create resources, opportunities, and supports for future classes. Schools contact the students with more information and directions to complete the senior survey.

Juniors

Each school will share their own school specific junior focus activities, materials, and events. All schools will have their own school specific, transcript request form and process, senior planning and recommendation packets, and additional processes dedicated to postsecondary planning. For more information, contact your school counselor or College and Career Specialist.  

Here are some items that may be included in your senior packet:  

• Postsecondary Planning Worksheet
• Resume
• Student-Parent Questionnaire
• Student Records Request
• Teacher Recommendation Request
• Teacher Comment Form
• Transcript Release Form
• Parent Release Form

Step 3: Celebrate your Plan

• What entry level career are you planning to begin and with which company?  
• Why did you plan to do a gap year and with which gap year program?
• Why are you planning to join the military and with which branch have you signed up?
