Silver Creek Senior Families,

This is an extremely important message about college, university and post-secondary options for you and your child.

Ever wonder how to pay for college?  Is your child in the midst of selecting colleges and universities which to apply to?  How do you decide what college is right for you?  Want access to over 10,000 scholarships?  Want access to information on every single college and university in the United States?  Ever wondered; what am I going to be when I grow up?

Tis’ the season for college applications, scholarships, letters of recommendation and making the final steps towards completion of your high school years.  At Silver Creek we are doubling down our efforts to help you make the transition to college.  

Over the course of the past two school days our counseling team has visited every Senior English class and given them information upon college applications, financial information and introduced them to Naviance.  If any of those questions above interested you, we have a terrific tool to assist in answering those questions thoroughly.  This tool is called Naviance Family Connections.  With the generous support of our Education Foundation every student at Silver Creek has access to this online tool.   You may login to Naviance here: LINK.  

With access to 10,000 vetted scholarships, information about every trade school, university, and college in the United States, interest inventories, career exploration, lessons on getting from high school to college, and tools to help manage resumes; Naviance can help you make the leap from high school to college and career readiness.

We encourage you to read this brief instructional sheet on username, password, and helpful video tutorials about all Naviance can do for you.  LINK to video tutorials.
