SCHOOLINKS

The High School and Beyond Plan (HSBP) is a state graduation requirement designed to support student career and college exploration throughout middle and high school. The HSBP helps connect career interests with their classes, and their classes with career training or college majors.  This will be helping them identify the steps needed to reach their postsecondary goals. Students start the plan in 7th grade by taking a career and interest/skill inventory and using the results to inform their 8th grade class choices. HSBPs are revised each year (7th-12th grade) to align with changing interests and educational or career goals.

The High School and Beyond Plan is really a way for students to explore who they are, who they want to become, and how they can get there;  the intent is to empower all students to prepare for and achieve their career and college dreams.  

Last year we moved to a new platform – Schoolinks -  to catalog their efforts and house their work in the HSBP, providing a consistent way for students to explore how their interests and skills fit different careers, set educational and career goals, determine classes to prepare for the future, even apply to college (not right away, but in the future).

This program is a statewide program so if they transfer within Washington State it will follow them to their future school.  Below you will find the links to the information you need to jump on and start your journey.  

Students reach their plan by going to Clever and then towards the bottom of the page is a yellow school links symbol.

See the link below to the OSPI website for more information.

Schoolinks instructions for Grades 9, 10, & 11

This is the new Schoolinks program for all Washington State students. Below you will find the instructions for finishing the onboarding to the new program and also the requirements for the 9th grade students. If you are in the 10th or 11th grade you will need to complete these requirements in order to finish your own grade level. It is basically creating your college and career identity.
