Mark Your Calendars!

• Your SAAFP will be dated according to their graduation time.
• End of Year, Summer Sessions, and ESY- June 6, 2025

• Case Managers will notify their AA in JIRA, creating a NEW isue {Scheduled (Meeting/Invite/NOREP)} , by the following dates:
• End of Year and ESY Grads- By 6/13/2025. These can be sent no sooner than June 9, 2025, but must be sent to your AA by June 13, 2025

• Summer Grads- Case Manager sends the drafts of the SAAFP and GRAD NOREP (or name of the learner) to supervisor at the end of their school year. After successful completion of the Summer Session, Supervisor then finalizes the SAAFP, and sends documents to AA (AA will finalize the NOEP).
• DO NOT Finalize your NOREPs! Your AAs will adjust DATES accordingly.
