4-Year Planners 

The State of Idaho requires ALL 8th grade students to complete a 4-year planner.  The purpose of the planner is to start students thinking about high school and begin mapping out their high school paths.  This is an excellent opportunity for students to learn about classes our district offers, including many specialty areas of study. 

The 4-year planner can be very confusing. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for students and parents to understand. The most important concept to remember is that this is just a draft plan and is meant to be altered throughout a student’s high school career. The students will fill in elective choices for all 4 years.

Ellen Estes, the Sawtooth College/Career Counselor, will facilitate students completing 4-year planners later this spring.

4-year planners will be completed online. Parents . . . please do not have your students complete their 4-Year Planner until instructed to do so. 

Below is a 4-Year Planner Video to help with the process of completing the 4-Year Planner:

 Parents and Students,

While completing the 4-Year Planner you will notice a place where you are to put your Career Cluster Survey results from Next Steps.  If you don't remember what yours were, no worries!! Here are 3 options for you:

1.) Leave them blank as you can always fill them in at a later date (i.e., next year). 

2.) Click the drop-down menu and choose 3 that interest you.

3.) Look at Next Steps Career Cluster Survey results that you saved on your OneDrive.
