The High School and Beyond Plan is a graduation requirement for every student. It's a process that guides students, parents, and teachers through high school, helping them think about their future. Plans are personalized and designed to help students set, visualize, and work towards achieving their goals.

Our High School and Beyond Bundle offers numerous valuable features that enable students to explore careers, take self-assessments to gain a deeper understanding of their personalities, and build their resumes to prepare for the transition after high school.

Required Elements of the High School and Beyond Plan,

The requirements of the High School and Beyond Plan are described in RCW 28A.230.090 and WAC 180-51-220. Decisions about whether a student has met the High School and Beyond Plan requirements are made locally per RCW 28A.230.080.

Click to go to the State Board of Education (SBE) HSBP required elements.

Click on the WA Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OPSI) HSBP information page.

Logging onto High School and Beyond presents a Home Page with easy navigation for the user. Additionally, the left navigation menu has been designed to provide explanations for various actions. 

Completion Status 

In Student Completion, with the "Select a Student" option, Educators can access all of a single student's High School and Beyond application information.

 

Enter or select the student search parameters on the screen and click Search. For instance, when you are assigned a school or class, it may automatically generate a list of students. Or click the Student Group option to search by a specific group of students.

When you find the student, click the magnifying glass to open a spotlight on the student.

The view opens with the selected student, with tabs for each High School and Beyond Bundle application.

NOTE: You can use the Previous Student and Next Student buttons in the top right to "scroll" through your searched list.

To access various areas for the selected student, hover over a specific application to see other options. Then, click an area from the drop-down to go to that location.

Tab: High School and Beyond: Tasks 

You will be presented with the student's High School and Beyond Tasks. Click on one of the hyperlinks to review an activity.  (example: 9th Grade>SMART Goals.) Once you click on the activity, a new browser tab will open for you to review.

Now that you have reviewed the student's work, return to the browser tab for tasks. Click on the Meter Icon next to the activity to approve or revise it. The Meter icon to the right of each task indicates the student's progress. 

The Gray meter indicates that the student still needs to finish the task. 

Next to the Meter Indicator is also a Communication Message icon. This will open a pop-up window for adding/reviewing further comments and messages as needed.  

Click + Add Record to add a message or comment.

A pop-up Task Message window will appear.

To Edit/Delete a message, click on the Row Action & Options gear icon to the right of the communication.

A Green check mark means the educator has marked this task as "Approved," and the student has completed/finished the activity.

A Red check mark means the educator has marked this as "Revisions Requested." The student needs to return to the activity and make the necessary edits.

An Orange check mark means the student has marked this activity as "Complete," and it is pending approval/review by the educator.

Flyer icon - Notice the icon in the top right corner. This indicates whether the student has acknowledged reviewing the Financial Aid Information. For example, "Green" indicates that the student has acknowledged reviewing the Financial Aid Information. "Orange" indicates that the student has not acknowledged the review of Financial Aid Information.

High School and Beyond Plan is Complete - Educators can click this button once the student has completed OSPI's requirements. Students will only see this button once it is checked off. If you mark the student's High School and Beyond Plan as complete in Skyward/Powerschool, it will be marked as complete in our system. IT DOES NOT WORK THE OTHER WAY AROUND. Marking the student's plan as complete in our system does not check it off in Skyward/PowerSchool.

Taking these assessments will gauge their interest in different careers, and upon completion, will generate results based on their personality and preferences. It is recommended that they take the self-assessments multiple times to see how their results change throughout their high school journey. (For example, one set in 9th grade, another in 10th grade, 11th grade, or 12th grade, etc.)
