Community Service is an opportunity for students to engage with the community in a meaningful way. From the experience, students will gain knowledge that will enrich their school and community experiences. Our communities benefit from altruistic young adults who give their individual assets with the purpose of creating a positive change. For students, these experiences develop their understanding of how their actions impact the environment around them.
All 8th grade students will complete 6 hours total for the school year. Community service can be done on or off school grounds, after school hours. Students performing community services on school grounds must get the approval from a parent and staff member. Students will need to be signed off by the teacher, staff member or the adult they are working with to complete their service.

ICAP stands for Individualized Career and Academic Plan. ICAP is a crucial part of student success because it gets students thinking about their future careers and academic goals. ICAP is required for continuation from 8th grade and graduation from high school. In order to prepare our students for high school success and beyond it is the expectation that all ICAP surveys and assignments are completed for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade years.
There are surveys and assignments before the end of each quarter that students will be able to complete in class with the assistance of their teachers.
