High School and Beyond (Just one of the Washington State Graduation Requirements)
SCHOOLINKS is our new High School and Beyond Platform this year. SchooLinks took the place of Naviance.
SchooLinks will be used by ALL CHS students for the following reason:
1. All Students will have the opportunity to take Self Discovery Surveys, List Career and Future Goals, Create Resumes/list activities and do their state required High School and Beyond Tasks.
2. Seniors: will use SchooLinks to add their Colleges and will match their Common App accounts to SchooLinks so CHS can send transcripts to colleges and Teachers and Counselors can upload Recommendation letters.
3. To access SchooLinks students can go to the OSD Portal and click on SchooLinks (under the Curriculum tab) and log in their Clever-Google account.
Mrs. Smith and the counseling team will be helping students with their SchooLinks throughout the year. Students are always welcome to ask Mrs. Smith for help in the CCRC.
