YOUR CDP Matters🚀
YOUR CDP Matters🚀
Did you know that completing your Career Development Plan (CDP) is just as essential as any major assessment or project you will tackle in high school? 🎓
Each year, we organize school-wide initiatives like CDPs By Block to ensure you have a polished, updated roadmap for your future. Think of your CDP not just as a requirement, but as your personal blueprint for success after graduation! 🗺️
⏳ Deadlines & Expectations

The Goal: The expectation is for every student to have a complete CDP prior to Summer Break/Graduation. ☀️
Communication: Parent phone calls and emails will begin soon to ensure everyone is on track. 📞
Action Item: Don’t delay—log into Xello today to finish your requirements! 💻
