SchoolTool & Scholarships
You will be communicating with your counselor more than ever this year as you plan for a successful future after high school. Even if you don't plan to attend college, it will still be important to keep in touch with your counselor to ensure you're on track to graduate and pursue your own dreams!

SchoolTool will be very useful for you this year! You'll want to keep track of your assignments and grades closely throughout the school year to make sure you're passing classes and on track to graduate. You should also make sure you have the correct contact information in the system so you and your family can be contacted when necessary. If any of your information needs updating (mailing address, email address, phone number, or parent/guardian information) please have this changed as soon as possible by emailing Mrs. Dutcher at ldutcher@cortlandschools.org. In your email, inform her of what information needs to be updated and make sure to include your first and last name and your school ID number in your email.
