Dear Parent,
I am pleased to introduce Family Connection from Naviance, a Web-based service
designed especially for students and parents. Family Connection is a comprehensive
website that you and your child can use to help in making decisions about courses,
colleges, and careers. Family Connection is linked with Counselor’s Office, a service that
we use in our office to track and analyze data about college and career plans, so it
provides up-to-date information that’s specific to our school.
Family Connection will allow you and your child to:




Get involved in the planning and advising process – Build a resume and
manage timelines and deadlines for making decisions about colleges and careers
Research colleges – Compare GPA, standardized test scores, and other statistics
to actual historical data from our school for students who have applied and been
admitted in the past
My Personality Type – After completion of this assessment you will learn more
about yourself and possible careers for your personality type
Sign up for college visits – Find out which colleges are visiting our school and
sign up to attend those sessions
Family Connection also lets us share information with you and your child about upcoming meetings and events, local scholarship opportunities, and other Web resources for
college and career information. In addition, the site includes a link that your child can use
to send us an e-mail message. To visit our school’s Family Connection site, use your
Web browser to connect to:
http://connection.naviance.com/whitman/
When you visit the site for the first time, students should enter their personal registration
code in the New User box and follow the on-screen instructions to create their own
account. Student registration codes were passed out during homeroom on Tuesday,
November 24th. Students should share their account with their parents. Please use the
student’s email address (not the parents) as the user name. This enables us to send
appropriate information to the student. If you have any problems or your student has not
received a personal registration code, please contact Mrs. Marmor at 301-320-6611 or by
email at [email protected].
We hope that you will find this resource helpful. If you have further questions about
Family Connection, please contact me.
Yours truly,
Jan Marmor
