Family Engagement
The School District of Jefferson is committed to including parents in the ACP process. Parents serve as vital role in the ACP process and help to shape the vision of student’s plan. Below is a summary of the ways in which parents are included in the ACP process:
Parents are annually notified of District’s education for employment options.
School counseling staff meets with students and their parents in 8th, 9th and 11th grade planning conferences. During these meetings, parents are invited to share their thoughts and ideas as the student is provided support in developing a meaningful plan.
Parents have access to the School Counseling and ACP websites, which serve as good sources of information regarding ACP and the Counseling programming. A variety of resources are provided to allow parents the ability to actively engage in the ACP process. Parents also have opportunities each year to review their child’s ACP plan by accessing information via the Xello platform.
ACP updates and reminders will be provided through emails and newsletter articles.
Community Partnerships
The District has established strong partnerships with numerous businesses across Jefferson County to enhance educational supports and/or to connect students with authentic learning experiences. The District has partnered with the Jefferson Chamber of Commerce to work collaboratively in an effort to establish connections between students and local businesses. Continued efforts will be made to develop meaningful relationships with area agencies and businesses that will support the needs of both the local economy and the students of the School District of Jefferson.
