Family Connection is a website we in the guidance office use on a daily basis to help us manage the college process. It can also be of great assistance to students and parents as they begin applying to schools. Below are some FAQs about the site. If you are the parent/guardian of a member of the senior class and you haven't yet accessed your child's account please try it out. We think you'll love it!
What is Family Connection? Family Connection (also referred to as Naviance) is a college search engine and application management system. Each student has their own account, where their GPA, SAT scores, and other information is stored. Students can use this site to research colleges, compare their scores/grades to past students, and build a resume.
Do students have to use it? Yes! We now send about 90% of our transcripts through Family Connection. If a student isn't using it, we cannot send his/her information.
Do Parents have an account? Yes, parents have their own access code that will link them directly to their child’s account. We handed these out last spring at our parent evening and also to the students during advisory. If you didn't receive yours please send us an email and we'll get it to you ASAP!Parents can access all the same tools as their children.
How do we access it? If you have not already registered go to the website address below. Click on “I need to register” on the right side of the page. Enter your access code and open your account.
Do the students have an access code? The vast majority of students in the class of 2013 set up an account during their US History I classes as sophomores. They have taken a personality profile and career inventory (the results of which are available for you to view on your account) and researched at least one college. Each student now has a username and password that can be used to access the site.
Also, please don't forget about our upcoming Senior Parent College Application Night...
