COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS
Attention Parents:
The district is pleased to introduce SchooLinks, a college and career readiness platform, for our 8th -12th grade students. Students in grades 8-12 should have completed the SchooLinks Onboarding process at their campus in October. Part of this process asks students to invite one parent/guardian to join to view the student account. Parents can access instructions given to students to invite them to use SchooLinks here. Parents, please use the Parent Guardian SchooLinks Access Instructions to create your account. Discuss the results of your student’s Find Your Path Assessment, completed during the onboarding process. If you notice that your son/daughter has not completed the onboarding process/Find Your Path Assessment, please encourage them to do so. Support your learner in using the platform to discover careers, colleges, and to explore financial readiness for their steps beyond high school. This platform will be utilized for course selection and four year planning this Spring, so it is vital all parents of students in grades 8-11 have an account to review course selection and approve their student’s four-year plan. More information about course selection will be shared in the spring semester. Contact your student’s counselor with questions about using the SchooLinks platform with your learner.
