SchooLinks

Parent/Guardian Onboarding:

Below are the instructions for how parents/guardians can logon to SchooLinks through their own account. Please note that some features such as adding and submitting applications, can only be done using a Student Account. 

• Navigate to schoolinks.com (note: there is only one “L”).
• Use the email you have shared in Infinite Campus
• If a Google account, “log in with Google”
• Otherwise, click “forgot password” to set it up

Official Transcripts are "automatically" triggered when a student adds a college application to SchooLinks either by (1) using the "+Add Application" button OR (2) by linking their Common App Account to SchooLinks

(1) Using the "+ Add Application" Button

If the student applied directly through the College's own website (called an "institutional" app) then the student will use the blue "+ add application" button in the college application section of SchooLinks. 

(2)  Linking a Common App Account to SchooLinks

If a student is using the Common App, they can link it to SchooLinks. That way any application that is added to Common App will simultaneously be added to SchooLinks triggering an official transcript request. 
To do so, the student will first complete the FERPA release in their Common App account. Then they will go to their SchooLinks account to complete the connection in the "College Application" section. 

Check out the video tutorial below for a full walk-through.  

All scholarships that are provided to South High or Parkway for advertising (not every scholarship that exists) are added to the "Scholarship Matching" feature under "College" in the student's SchooLinks account. SchooLinks also inputs scholarships of which its aware to this section.

In "Scholarship Matching", there are different ways to search.

An option is to use "Matching" and then "Eligibility", then only add your zip code at first to get an overview. Students can mark the scholarships as "favorites" to easily find the scholarship later as they search, review and apply.

Not only does SchooLinks have Career Assessments & Inventories, but information on careers, if any education is needed, typical salaries, "hot jobs", related occupations, videos of a typical day for that career, and videos of different workplaces. Students 9-12 can explore careers, and learn about themselves and how that can apply to careers.

Here is a Guide to using SchooLinks to learn about Careers.
