School Links is a tool that gives you access to the bigger picture of your students’ future. As a guardian, you will have the opportunity to join your student in their career and college exploration process and have conversations with them about their future. You will have access to School Links through your account. Please ensure you have an email address on file in Skyward. We look forward to getting started and helping you help your student! 

School Links allows you to:  

View the results of your student’s career interest, strength, and mindset assessments to learn more about their interests and what careers might be right for them 

See what colleges and careers your student has favorited and set as goals 

Check your personalized dashboard for upcoming events, as well as important reminders and to-dos for your student 

Complete your own research on colleges, careers, and more to help you have informed conversations with your students. 

Compare college costs and explore expected financial aid, scholarships, and out-of-pocket expenses

Review your student’s course plans

Bradley university is offering a free tutoring program called America Reads. We pair kids grades K-8 with an undergrad student to help them with reading comprehension, math, and general homework. This program will be starting back up again on February 2nd and runs until May 5th.

Important Announcement from Mr. Guyton about the upcoming Boys Basketball Shootout on January 31:

SCHEDULE SUBJECT TO CHANGE:

Below you will find the schedule for Boys’ Basketball Shootout #2. 

Please note that the schedule will look slightly different for most teams. Many teams will play back-to-back games or have 1–2 games in between. This format is intentional so that once teams finish their games, they may leave during the session break.

Important:
All JV players must leave the building during the session break. They may return only with a parent or guardian if they choose to do so.
