Check out your child's Academic & Career Plan progress: MajorClarity Parent Access
ACADEMIC AND CAREER PLANS
During the 2013-2014 school year, VDOE began requiring students to complete Academic and Career Plans (ACP) during their seventh grade year and complete them by the end of eighth grade. The ACP's will allow students to begin thinking about their future, from high school, graduation, and post-secondary college/career plans.
With the help of a program called MajorClarity, we will construct the ACP based on academic and career interests by completing several surveys. By the end of your student's eighth grade year, their ACP will be complete and part of their cumulative educational record. It will be reviewed/updated during their ninth and 11th grade years. Students and guardians may access and update their ACP's at any point in time through MajorClarity.
