BSD Academic and Career
Readiness Plan 2025-26
Portrait of a Scholar, Career and Life Ready
With the adoption of a new strategic plan, butternut students and staff are focusing on preparing students to be career and life ready. The renewed focus was developed with input and feedback from students, staff and community members, and reflects the school district's commitment to meeting the needs of the community.

What does this look like?

The culture of learning in Butternut is evolving, and becoming keenly focused on scholarly mindsets, behaviors and work ethic. While academics have always been a strong tradition in the school, there is renewed and intentional planning around closing knowledge and skill gaps. At the same time, the groundwork is being laid that will allow acceleration in ways that were previously unavailable.


Alongside this academic foundation are structures and frameworks that help students gain valuable work experience learning outside of the school. Guiding this work is the district's Academic and Career Readiness and Education for Employment Plans which identify key career pathway opportunities for students, and defines goals, objectives and strategies the district will use to prepare students for success in the workplace.


One important component of this career readiness is the Youth Apprenticeship program, which places students with cooperating businesses for work-based learning. Currently, eight Butternut students are taking advantage of opportunities through Youth Apprenticeship and Work Experience programs in:

Professional Learning

Designing relevant and engaging student learning experiences is our goal. Supporting educators through professional learning to continuously examine practice, hone skills and stay tuned in to what students need is an integral part of our work in the school.

Attendance
Attendance Matters!
Research shows that chronic absenteeism, when students are out of school 10% or more days per school year, has a significant impact on a student's ability to read a grade level by 3rd grade. Students with inconsistent attendance in middle and high school are at higher risk of dropout and not graduating.
