Eighth Grade Individual Planning Conference

These 45-minute meetings include the student, the parents/guardians, and a school counselor and take place November through January; the majority of the times available are during the school day. The IPC is unlike traditional conferences - the focus is on each student’s personal and social growth, their educational and career development, and their high school planning process. 

Individual Planning Conferences are specially designed conferences for parents/guardians to gain insight into their child’s development.  Participation in the conference allows students to develop a direction for the future.  Our task is to determine how we can help them create and achieve goals for their future.

Parents/guardians are a key member of the conference team.  Conferencing gives parents/guardians and students the opportunity to discuss talents, interests, academic performance, and future goals in a positive environment.
