Dear Parents,
While Salisbury School strives to create an environment in which students grow on many levels, clearly one of our fundamental responsibilities is to play an integral role in the college selection process. Despite the fact that admission to the most selective colleges continues to be increasingly competitive, we are very proud of our college matriculation record. Salisbury students are consistently admitted to colleges of their choice through careful planning and considerable effort on the part of the student, their family, and the School.
We are pleased to introduce Family Connection from Naviance, a Web-based service designed especially for students and parents. Family Connection is a comprehensive Web site that you 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 to:
- Get involved in the planning and advising process - Build a resume, complete on-line surveys, and manage timelines 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 about up-coming meetings and events, local scholarship opportunities, and other Web resources for college and career information. You can also use the site to send us an e-mail message.
We will provide you with a personal access code and instructions for accessing Family Connection. You will use that code to create your own Family Connection account.
We hope that you will find this resource helpful. If you have further questions about Family Connection, please contact us.
Yours truly,
Bobby Wynne
Director of College Advising
