Welcome to our web pages!  On our site you will be able to read our newsletters and other valuable information that has been made available to you online. 

One of the most useful tools we work with in our office is Family Connection from Naviance.  For some, Family Connection from Naviance is familiar, for others, it will be new.  In either case, we are pleased this web-based service designed especially for students and parents.  Family Connection is a comprehensive website that you and your child can use to help in making decisions about courses, colleges, and careers.  Family Connection is linked with Counselor's Office, a service that we use in our office to track and analyze data about college and career plans, so it provides up-to-date information that's specific to our school.

Family Connection will allow you and your child to:

• Get involved in the planning and advising process - Build a resume, complete on-line surveys, and manage time-lines and deadlines for making decisions about colleges and careers.
• Research colleges - Compare GPA, standardized test scores, and other statistics to actual historical data from our school for students who have applied and been admitted in the past.
• Sign up for college visits - Find out which colleges are visiting our school and sign up to attend those sessions.

Family Connection also lets us share information with you and your child about up-coming meetings and events, local scholarship opportunities, and other web resources for college and career information.  In addition, the site includes a link that your child can use to send us an e-mail message.  To visit our school's Family Connection site, use your web browser to connect to:

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