Each student in the Oak Creek-Franklin Joint School District will develop his/her own Academic and Career Plan (ACP). This plan is personalized according to each student’s unique interests, knowledge, and skills. The ACP builds upon the foundation laid during the elementary years.
This process takes formal shape at the 6th grade level and is built upon in each subsequent year. Adult mentors (teachers, pupil services, parents, community partners) will help students utilize the experiences gained from previous years with the purpose of building a successful future for each student. The ACP supports our mission of working together to engage, challenge, and inspire every student, every day. The ACP also supports high credentials at the high school level.
Purposeful planning is key to ensuring student success throughout their academic career and beyond. Through a variety of informal and formal planning sessions, students will be offered the chance to explore their future opportunities and carefully select coursework and career preparatory experiences that will be most applicable to their unique situation. ACP provides the time and structure necessary for students to explore and prepare for their future.
