Parents, have you heard your student mention their Educational Development Plan (EDP) but aren’t quite sure what it is? We’ve got you covered!
An EDP is a roadmap for students, helping them explore careers, set goals, and plan for their future—whether that’s college, trade school, the military, or the workforce. It’s a tool that grows with them as they discover new interests and skills.
At Chippewa Hills, we use Xello, an engaging online program that helps students:
âś… Explore careers that match their skills & interests
âś… Set academic & personal goals
âś… Plan high school courses that align with their future plans
âś… Learn about college, apprenticeships, and job opportunities
Xello is used throughout middle and high school, and students update their EDP regularly as they grow and their goals evolve.
High school parents: EDPs are due by March 27! This is a great time to sit down with your student and go through their Xello profile together. Ask about their goals, explore career matches, and help them choose next year’s classes!
Need help? Students can access Xello anytime through the Student Resources section of our website: https://www.chsd.us/o/chhs/page/counseling-office-student-resources.
Our High School Counseling Office is also available to answer questions! They can be reached at 989-967-2116.
