For Independence and VRA Parents of Middle and High Schoolers: Introducing SchoolLinks!

Dear Parents/Guardians of Middle School and High School students,

We are very excited to introduce our new college and career readiness platform, SchooLinks!

All of the SchooLinks features are designed with students in mind to help them become career, college, and life-ready. As guardians, you will have access to SchooLinks through your own account. This allows you to join your students in their career and college exploration process and discuss their future with them.

SchooLinks allows you to have informed conversations with your students by:

Viewing your student’s career interest, strength, and mindset assessments
Seeing what colleges and careers your student has favorited
Comparing college costs and explore expected financial aid, scholarships, and out-of-pocket expenses
