Visit ](Foster Youth. Visit jbay.org/resources/ed)[jbay.org/resources/ed](Foster Youth. Visit jbay.org/resources/ed)planning-guide to access the complete guide.  \nDepending on a youth’s goals and when they start preparing for postsecondary education, some of these grade-specific steps may not apply. That’s ok! Meet the student where they are in their academic journey. Even if they are not interested or on track to meet the requirements for a four-year college, there are many great options such as degree and certificate programs at community colleges.  \nAttend an orientation session at your student’s new school to meet the student’s counselor, learn about school clubs and activities, and pick up the student’s class schedule.  \n Work with the student to identify postsecondary pathways they are interested in based on their interestsand career goals. See Section 3 for more information on the different pathways.  \nIf applicable, request or attend Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 Plan meetings to advocate for any needed accommodations for a disability or request a meeting if the current services are no longer meeting the youth’s needs. 504 Plans and IEPs provide accommodations for students with physical or mental health disabilities to succeed in school, however only certain  \nclassifications of disabilities are eligible for an IEP. For youth age 16 or older, the IEP should include their postsecondary goals and the services needed to transition successfully after highschool. Students with disabilities may also be eligible for services through the Department of Rehabilitation. Learn more in Section 10.  \n Add report cards from 9th-11th grade into the student’sonline or physical documents folder  \nalong with any certificates or awards earned for the year. If the student transfers to a new school, obtain a copy of their school record and keep it with other important documents.  \nIN 11TH GRADE ONLY:  \nFor students interested in pursuing a fouryear college or university, begin working on the personal statement the spring or summer before senior year to have adequate time to review and revise as needed. Students planning on applying to a UC can start their application as early as August 1st. Learn more in the 12th grade checklist in Section 8.  \nIf the student is interested in applying to a four-year college or university, make a list of three to five colleges that include “reach”,“target”and “safety”schools. These are terms to describe the likelihood of being admitted based on factors such as a school’s acceptance rate or average GPA. For example, at a “safety school” the student would most likely be accepted and at a “reach school”there is a lower chance of acceptance. If the student is interested in community college, explore which colleges offer the programs the student is interested in.  \nSchedule tours/informational interviews with colleges to help narrow down choicesand geta feel for the institution (physical environment, types of courses, resources, etc.). Students can inquire about housing options available to them as well.  \nSchedule a meeting with campus foster youth support program staff to gather more information on available services. Learn more about these programs in Section 10.  \nEncourage your student to create an email address, such as Gmail, that is strictly for college and financial aid application information. High school emails will often expire.  \nCOURSEWORK  \nTalk to a school counselor to ensure that your student is enrolled in approved“a-g”coursework if the student may be interested in a four-year college or university.
