Dear Parents and Guardians,
Sixth grade parents, you should have received a robo call on Tuesday, January 16, 2018 informing you that you need to log into Family Connection in Naviance. You should have also received your Family Connection letter. We
sent them home with your child via back pack express on Thursday, January 18th.
There will be specific instructions on how to log into Naviance on our school webpage under Counselling Services. Click on Family Connection Letter, then scroll down.
Family Connection is a service designed especially for students and families. Family Connection is a comprehensive website that you and your child can use to assist in making plans about courses, colleges, and careers. Family Connection is linked to Naviance, a service that we use in our office to track and analyze data about college and careers plans, so it provides up-to-date information that's specific to our school. Please look out for the letter being brought home by your child for more information and details about Family Connection. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact
Mark Lenczewski
, Guidance Counselor. We need 100% of our 6th grade families logged into Family Connection!
Thank you for another great week at Woodbury Elementary School!
Always believe!
D. Young, Principal
