LISD Focus on the Future

Focus on the Future provides Transition Services to it's 18+ population to facilitate a seamless transition to life after high school by providing multiple opportunities to learn and use the skills necessary to function as independently as possible. FOF covers a wide continuum of student needs and services to address and work collaboratively toward post-secondary outcomes. Based on individual interests and choices, students will participate in a variety of activities so that the last day of school is identical to the first day of the rest of their lives.

Starfish Creations provides experiences for FOF students to develop the skills necessary for paid employment:
Hospitality/Food Service: Starfish Cafe, Starfish Snack Shack
Office Skills: Starfish Supplies, Shredding, and other pre-vocational tasks
Soft Skills: All the Starfish business models provide Focus on the Future and High School students across the district the opportunity to learn how to communicate in a workplace, initiating and completing tasks, asking for more work or clarification on instructions, efficiency, and time management. Starfish is a safe place to develop these skills in a supportive environment before the students enter the world of work.
