News from the CCRC (Career and College Readiness Center)
SchooLinks is our High School and Beyond Plan (HSBP) Platform, for ALL students. The HSBP is a REQUIRED High School Graduation Requirement.
Mrs. Smith is presenting in Junior and Sophomore English classes this month, Freshman Health classes 1st and 2nd semesters, and last month in your Senior History classes.
If your SENIOR student didn't learn how to access SchooLinks for their HSBP and for College Applications, please have them make an appointment with her as soon as possible. Schedule Appointment
If your Freshman-Junior student hasn't learned SchooLinks yet, have them check with their teacher (9th Health, 10th & 11th English teachers) to make sure they haven't missed Mrs. Smith's presentation. If they have, then they will need to make an appointment with Mrs. Smith to find out what they have missed. Schedule Appointment
