High School and Beyond Plan (HSBP)
Overview of 2021/2022 Tasks for students in Grade 11
Greetings from the HSBP Office!
The High School and Beyond Plan (HSBP) has been a graduation requirement since 2009 and has specific requirements. A student’s HSBP is developed around three questions: Who am I? , What can I become?, and How do I become that? To answer these questions, beginning in grade 8 and continuing through grade 12, students will complete three career assessments, create a four-year course plan for high school, develop a résumé, and identify their career and educational goals.
Completing HSBP tasks in Grades 11 will make the completion of Grade 12 tasks a lot easier! Continue reading this newsletter or access the HSBP Schoology course (your student should already be enrolled) for directions on completing HSBP tasks.
We look forward to working with you!

HSBP Tasks for Students in Grade 11
Students' HSBP Portfolio
Task 1: Update Contact information
Throughout the school year, the High School and Beyond Plan Department (HSBP) checks students' portfolios for task completion. Sometimes, especially for students in Grade 12, we need to be able to reach out to students about a task that may need to be updated in their HSBP portfolio. Students, please update your contact information by using this link to jump directly in to the Update Contact Form:
Class of 2023 (Grade 11): http://bit.ly/39c2V2W
Task 2: Take the Interventions and Supports Survey
Class of 2023 Interventions and Supports Survey Link: https://forms.gle/H22RzMu639ekD35LA
Interventions and academic support, courses, or both, that enable students to meet the high school graduation requirements, must be documented in students' HSBP portfolio. The information we collect in this survey will become a part of a students' HSBP. Interventions and supports may include, but are not limited to the following:
- Counseling for “on track” on-time graduation plan
- Academic interventions with frequent progress checks
- School counseling connection for social/emotional supports
- Dual credit course (AP, IB, CI, College in the HS, Running Start, CTE Dual Credit)
- Career and technical equivalency course
- Transition course (Bridge to College Math and/or English)
- Credit recovery course
- Remedial course
- Tutoring/Mentoring
- Parent/guardian/teacher/counselor conference
- Attendance contract
- Extended school day opportunity
- Summer school
Students, please take a few minutes to complete this survey. Thank you for taking the time to be thoughtful with your responses.
Task 3: Update Your Personalized Pathway Requirement
A Personalized Pathway Requirement (PPR) is a sequence of courses, chosen by you, that prepare you to meet your graduation requirements and specific post-high school career or educational goals. Your PPR is created in collaboration between you, your parent/guardian, and school counselor, advisor, or teacher. (Graduation Requirements Graphic)
Your Personalized Pathway must be shown in your HSBP through
- Career Research
- Course Planning
- PPR Survey
- Aligned educational and career goals
Step-by-step directions for completing the PPR

Task 4: Learn about Federal and State Financial Aid
One of the HSBP requirements is to share information on federal and state financial aid programs that help students pay for postsecondary (2 year, technical, or 4 year college) programs.
NOTE: Do not file the FAFSA or the WASFA until
October 1st of Grade 12
For more information about Financial Aid, please visit the Career and College Readiness Center (CCRC) website.

Task 5: Four Year Course Plan - Planning Your Schedule
A 4-year course plan that meets state and local graduation requirements, aligns with career and educational goals, and documents a students' chosen graduation pathway(s) is a required element of the HSBP portfolio. Completing a 4-year course plan in the HSBP portfolio must be done in addition to submitting your course requests each year.
Students, please update your HSBP 4-year course plan schedule through Grade 12 in your HSBP portfolio. We've recorded step-by-step directions for planning courses in your schedule to assist you with the completion of this task.

CHECK: Which Career Self-Assessments does your student still need to take (if any)?
To assist students in their exploration of careers and graduation pathways research, they take Career Self-Assessments and identify careers they may have an interest in.
Students, check your HSBP Completion Status tab to determine if you still need to take any Career Self-Assessments.
- Log into your HSBP Portfolio, using your Mukilteo School District username and password.
- In the center of your Completion Status page, find the Self-Assessments section. If you have a green check mark next to an assessment, you do not need to retake it; we have a record of your responses.
Assessment needed You should have at least 1 "green" check for each of the three Career Self-Assessments (Preferences, Interests, and Skills). If you are missing a check mark, or you have a red check mark, you are missing a Career Self-Assessment.
Use this link to jump directly to the Career Self-Assessments in their HSBP portfolio: http://bit.ly/HSBPInterests.
Each Career Self-Assessment only needs to be taken ONE time.

BONUS: Start a Résumé - Personal Details, Skills, and Education Experience
A résumé is a good way to introduce yourself. You will usually need one if you are applying for a job, an internship, or scholarship, and one may be needed for a college application. A résumé summarizes who you are including, but not limited to your experience, what you can do, and your unique skills, talents, and leadership and/or athletic abilities. A students' High School & Beyond Plan must include a completed résumé by the end of 12th Grade.
To have a completed HSBP résumé, students will need to include the following sections in their résumé:
• Skills
• Work or Volunteer Experience
Tip: 100 resume verbs to use when writing your résumé
Students, follow these directions to get started on your résumé:
