**Plan Proposal should be saved in your SEP classroom and must be typed. Plan proposals should be turned into the SEP advisors.

Project Action Plan - Getting Started

Students, please complete the following steps before starting your SEP project:

1. Complete a typed plan proposal.
2. Discuss your plan proposal with your parent/guardian.
3. Find a mentor (an expert in the topic you chose).
4. Submit your typed plan proposal.
5. Wait until the plan proposal is approved. Plans will go through a revision process. Once the project is revised, SEP advisors will give you a signed copy of your approved plan proposal.
6. Have a parent/guardian sign the plan proposal and submit paper copy to SEP advisors.
7. Have your mentor complete and sign the mentor confirmation sheet.
8. Parent/guardian must sign mentor confirmation sheet.
9. Turn in signed mentor confirmation sheet to your SEP advisors.
10. Turn in a signed parent/guardian consent & liability release form.
11. Once your plan proposal is approved, consider the following items before the project begins.
    • If you are hosting a fundraiser at school, contact the principal to schedule that date(s).
    • If you are planning an event which requires the use of a school facility, contact the principal to fill out a facility use form.
      • If your event will be held at school outside regular school hours, find one school district employee to supervise the event.
      • If your event includes the general public and you plan on having a large number of participants, find another adult to supervise.
      • You must include setup and cleanup as steps to complete. They are your responsibility.
    • If your project requires you to involve the middle school and elementary school students in any way, contact the principal.
    • If you plan on using any promotional items (posters, announcements, etc.) at the high school or any other building, get approval from the principal first.
