Individual Graduation Plans for Students

Overview of Individual Graduation Plan (IGP)

An Individual Graduation Plan (IGP) outlines a student's academic journey towards graduation. It serves as a roadmap to ensure that students meet their educational and career objectives. Students in grades 8-12 are required to meet annually for an Individual Graduation Plan (IGP) conference with their counselor and a parent/parents to plan courses related to college and career readiness. For more details about the IGP conference, contact your guidance counselor.

Viewing the IGP

To view a student's IGP, navigate to the student’s profile within the academic system. This allows educators and advisors to review the plan and track progress effectively.

Saving and Locking an IGP for a Student

Once the IGP is finalized, it's essential to save and lock it to prevent unauthorized changes. This ensures that the agreed-upon plan remains intact throughout the student's academic journey.

Course Catalog Management

- Use PowerScheduler tools to create a comprehensive course catalog.

- Ensure that the catalog reflects all available courses for students.

- Regularly review and update course offerings based on student needs and preferences.

Use of the course catalog in PowerScheduler will make courses available in the IGP process. Refer to this document for how to make courses available or remove courses from the IGP list.
