Individual Program Plans

Teachers, students and parents at Foothills collaborate to develop an Individual Program Plan (IPP) for that respective student, emphasizing areas requiring extra attention in academics, work and study skills and personal development. The IPP outlines specific goals for each student as a result of input from the student, parent and teacher. There is a parent-teacher-student meeting at the end of September for this purpose.

The first IPP is mailed home in October. Teachers formally assess students regularly in our program to provide information on student growth and to determine the success of strategies used in achieving the goals. Teachers evaluate and update IPP goals twice during the school year and then provide final evaluations and recommendations at the school year-end.

The IPP becomes part of the student’s permanent record.
