Elkhorn Week of 8/18/24

• Below you will find information for a thought exchange regarding the use of smartphones by students during the school day.
• Many school districts have implemented or are on their way to implementing policies that address smartphone use by students during the school day and the governor has voiced his support on a number of occasions.
• We believe it is important to gather input from students, staff and our families as we develop our policy.
• This thought exchange will launch Sunday at 6:00 pm and close Friday, August 30 at 11:59 pm

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

See this document to learn more about how to access your account.

For additional information regarding the platform's benefits, please join us at the district’s College and Career Night, on August 27th at McNair High School.
