SchooLinks is our college and career readiness platform. All of the features are designed with students in mind to help them become college, career, and life ready. Guardians have the opportunity to join their student in their college and career exploration process and have conversations with them about their future.

Guardians will have access to SchooLinks through their own account. All students in grades 7-12 have a SchooLinks account and have completed at least one career assessment. Ask your student about their results!

SchooLinks

SchooLinks allows parents/guardians to:

• View the results of your student's career interest, strength, and mindset assessments to learn more about their interests and what careers might be right for them

• See what colleges and careers your student has favorited and set as goals

• Check your personalized dashboard for upcoming events as well as important reminders and to-dos for your student

• Complete your own research on colleges, careers, and more to help you have informed conversations with your student

• Compare college costs and explore expected financial aid, scholarships, and out-of-pocket expenses

• Complete required documents for your student if enrolled in the Internship program

In 7th and 8th grade, students first use SchooLinks as part of their exploratory Career & Technical Education class. SchooLinks is again used by freshmen in the Consumer & Career Development course which is required for graduation.

In this course, emphasis is placed on building positive and constructive attitudes that enable consumers to confidently approach the marketplace in their ability to make important decisions. This course teaches students to recognize their needs better, gather pertinent data, and make intelligent buying decisions. Additionally, students will be able to explore and develop college and career readiness with a focus on professional and employability skills. Some of the units to be covered are Personal Finance, Budgeting Basics, Saving Money, Credit and Debt, Consumer Awareness, Career Readiness, College Planning, Taxes, Real Estate, and Global Economics.
