Please keep in mind that MySchools accounts are typically created and managed by parents/guardians. As a result, ongoing communication between students and their families is essential throughout the high school application process to ensure account access and successful completion of applications.

We hope these resources are helpful. As always, the School Counseling Team is here to support you every step of the way. If you have any questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Warmly,
The School Counseling Team
