Transition Planning
Individualized Education Programs at the high school are focused on transition planning. Transition planning is critical for all students 14 - 22 years of age. Transition planning focuses on the following areas: instruction, employment, and community experiences/post school adult living. Transition planning is outlined through the use of a Transition Planning Form. Transition planning takes into account a student's needs, strengths, skills, and interests. A student's goals outlined in in his/her Individualized Education Program should be those that need to be accomplished in order for a student to successfully transition into adulthood. The following are links to additional information about transition planning:
