Naviance Student
Naviance Student
(formerly called Naviance Family Connection) is the primary tool all of our RHS students will use when applying to college.
Now optimized for mobile use, it can be used to research information on colleges, designate colleges of interest, and build a college resume. Student and parents can also use it to search for scholarship opportunities and much more.
Seniors use this platform in the college application process to manage their application, transcripts and letters of recommendations. Information about college representative visits and scholarships is updated on Naviance Student by Mrs. Wright and Mrs. George regularly. Seniors should check in often!
All students will benefit from utilizing Naviance Student beginning in 9th grade. There are tools for career exploration, college selection, and resume building. Students can enter their activities into the resume builder throughout their high school progression to make it easier when it is time to fill out applications and to assist teachers with
recommendation letters
.
All RHS students will have a Naviance Student account.
Current 10th - 12th graders can access Naviance Student at:
https://student.naviance.com/robinsonhs
User Name is your Student ID # (not an email)
Password is your birthday (mm/dd/yyyy)
Parents, you can access Naviance Student through your own login. This is especially helpful if you have more that one student. To register for your account, click link above.

Calling All Volunteers!
If you are interested in volunteering on campus or at any off-site events, you will first need to complete the on-line HCPS Volunteer form.
This is required to be filled out every year and is very easy to update if you have one on file from last year.
There are a number of ways you can assist our IB Staff and Students throughout the year. We will often feature volunteer or other assistance needs in this newsletter, with SignUp Genius links that make participation easy. If you have any questions about Volunteering, please feel free to contact Kim Davis, our RIBLI VP of Volunteers at [email protected].
"Your participation is one of the components that makes RHS the stellar campus it is and allows our students and teachers to focus on success in their academic pursuits! Thank you all for your support and Go Knights!" ~ Kim Davis
