10th grade Individual Student Planning (ISP) meetings

In order to assist and support all students and families through the high school and post secondary planning process this year the CHS School Counselors will provide one-on-one meetings with all sophomore students and their parent(s)/guardian(s), if available. Unfortunately, due to the nature of scheduling individual meetings for all 10th grade students, we are unable to accommodate rescheduling meeting dates/times. The meeting will be held with your student at the time indicated on the letter that will be mailed home a few weeks prior to the meeting. If parents/guardians are unable to attend, we encourage a review of the meeting with your student at home afterwards.

During the meeting the following topics will be reviewed:

Review of student’s academic progress (credits/grades)
A-G requirements (CSU/UC minimum requirements)
Draft a plan for 11th and 12th grade courses
Discuss post secondary interests and career goals

To optimize our limited time together, we request students/parents/guardians complete the following tasks:

Have a discussion about academic, postsecondary, and wellness goals
View our 26-27 Course Catalog for course descriptions

We look forward to providing this opportunity to all of our 10th grade students!
