Students are encouraged to revise their Educational Development Plan (EDP) annually, with help from school counselors and/or teachers and school staff.
All students are required to develop an EDP with guidance from school advisers, beginning in 7th grade. When applicable, parents and community contacts should also be included. EDPs are “living” documents and are updated as student interests and abilities become more obvious and focused.

For Parents/Caregivers
If you are a parent who wants to be more involved with your child’s Educational Development Plan (EDP), reach out to your school counselor to request to be added to your child’s Xello account. You will need to provide them with your name, child’s name, and your email address.
