Naviance - Online College Counseling

Dear Junior,

I am pleased to introduce Family Connection from Naviance, a web-based service designed especially for students and parents. Family Connection is linked with Counselor's Office, a service that we use in our office to track and analyze data about college plans. It provides helpful and up-to-date information specific to our school.

Family Connection will allow you to do the folllowing:

• Get involved in the planning and advising process — Build a resume, complete on-line surveys, and manage timelines and deadlines for your applications.
• Research colleges
• Sign up for college visits — Find out which colleges are visiting our school and sign up to attend those sessions.

We will use Family Connection to share information with you about up-coming meetings and events, local scholarship opportunities, and other Web resources for college. You can also use the site to send me an e-mail message when questions arise.

Inside the cover of your College Counseling Handbook, you will find a personal access code and instructions for accessing Family Connection. Please use that code to create your own Family Connection account.

I hope that you will find this resource helpful. If you have further questions about Family Connection, please contact me.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Bodell
