OK, so now you understand how the application process works. Now, I am going to guide you through using the "Search" tool in GoCPS to actually start doing some research on schools that are going to be a good match and a good fit for you.
I have provided 4 short support videos to help you. It is important that you watch these videos with your parents or guardians so that they understand how to use this tool. Once you have activated your account in August or September and are ready to start selecting schools for your application, it is going to look very similar to this search tool. Your family will need to understand how it works to be successful in completing your applications.
