Your Student's future starts
with a plan!
Your Student's future starts
with a plan!
This November, all students in grades 6–12 will participate in the Six-Year Plan process to explore their interests and strengths, set meaningful goals, and develop a personalized plan for their future.
Once your student completes their plan and it is approved by their School Counselor, parents and guardians will receive an email with a link to view and approve the plan through our SchooLinks College and Career Readiness program. Emails will be sent once counselor approval is complete, by the beginning of February.
We’ll also provide step-by-step written instructions and a short demonstration video so you can see just how easy the process is. We look forward to partnering with families as our students plan for their futures!
