Schoolinks Onboarding
The district is pleased to introduce SchooLinks, a college and career readiness platform, for our students. Students 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. Support your learner in using the platform to discover careers, and 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 that 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.
Schoolinks is a modern college and career platform that will allow you access to millions of Scholarship opportunities, and information for universities, colleges, and careers to help prepare you for your future!
