ICAP: Okcollegestart.org

Parents/Students,

Your student is starting the ICAP process for this year. Our ICAP will be done each year though OKcollegestart.org. Each student has an account already created from last year. Each day in Advocacy students should be logging on to work on their ICAP until all the required steps are complete.

If your student does not know how to access Okcollegestart.org, have them talk to their advocacy teacher or e-mail: amber.harp@littleaxeps.org

What is ICAP?

ICAP is not all about going to college. It helps the student understand their own interests, strengths, values and learning styles. It will help create a vision of their future, individual goals, prepare a personal plan for achieving their visions and goals. We want our students to know and understand all their opportunities after high school. High school is ONE stepping stone to adulthood and we want our students to be as prepared as possible.

Okedge.com is another great resources for parents and students.

ICAP is now a required graduation requirement that will be officially stated the student high school transcript.
