This continues in intermediate school as well.
In junior high, students begin to look at more specific types of postsecondary options and which careers require different levels of education.
By eighth grade, students are assessing their own career interests to align with a program of study to follow in high school.
They then work with a counselor to develop a fouryear plan to guide them through high school to their postsecondary plans and career.
Of course, the parent must also be involved in this effort. Family values and expectations strongly influence students’ career choices, so it is important to make them an integral part of the plan from the beginning.
The RISD CCMR Plan provides parent specific information for each grade level as well.
If you are a parent of an RISD student, or anyone interested in the RISD CCMR plan, please visit the Rockdale ISD website www.rockdaleisd.net.
If you have questions regarding the program, please contact the Executive Director of College and Career Readiness, Britina Pesak at bpesak@rockdaleisd.net or 512-430-6000.
