Dear Parents/Guardians:
We are pleased to introduce Family Connection from Naviance, a Web-based service designed especially for students and parents. Family Connection is a comprehensive website that you and your child can use to help in making decisions about courses, colleges, and careers. Family Connection is linked with Counselor’s Office, a service that we use in our office to track and analyze data about college and career plans, so it provides up-to-date information that’s specific to our school.

Family Connection will allow you and your child to:

•    Get involved in the planning and advising process – Build a resume, complete on-line surveys, and manage time lines and deadlines for making decisions about colleges and careers
•    Research colleges – Compare GPA, standardized test scores, and other statistics to actual historical data from our school for students who have applied and been admitted in the past
•    Sign up for college visits – Find out which colleges are visiting our school and sign up to attend those sessions

Family Connection also lets us share information with you and your child about up-coming meetings and events, local scholarship opportunities, and other Web resources for college and career information. In addition, the site includes a link that your child can use to send us an e-mail message.

We hope that you will find this resource helpful. If you have further questions about Family Connection, please contact us.

Yours truly,

 The Counseling Office
