Before School Starts TO DO LIST #4 Username & Password
September will be here before we know it, so I wanted to put together a summer “To Do List” blog series for parents and students to help get everyone ready for school, come September 4. I hope you enjoy the series.
#4 Confirm your Usernames and Passwords
Waldwick High School uses a few web-based sites that require a username and password. The summer is a great time to confirm you have your username and password for each of the sites. It also might be a good idea to change your password for security reasons. I would suggest finding a place/site/App to help you keep track of all the user names and passwords that have become part of our lives.
Here is a blog post I recently read 10 Important Password Tips Everyone Should Know by Viki Davis) that was very informative.

Naviance
We use
the email feature in Naviance as the primary communication tool between
Guidance, Students and Parents regarding announcements, publications, and the
like. Email should be checked a few times a week by all students and parents.
Seniors are the exception – as they should check their Email on a daily basis.

Family
Connection from Naviance® is a web-based program that links counselors and
schools with students and parents to improve college and career planning. We
are pleased to make this
resource available to all of our high school students and families, in addition
to and as a complement to the array of college-related speakers and seminars we
already offer at Waldwick High School.
While
we anticipate heaviest usage of this program among our juniors and seniors,
many of our younger students and their parents will find this tool to be helpful
in longer-term planning. The Career component in Naviance makes this program an
ideal site for our 9th and 10th graders to investigate career paths using the
various personality and work related surveys to assist them in
these endeavors. Think of Naviance as an Online Organizer between school and
home. Guidance utilizes the data you record in Naviance to enhance your
post-graduate plans.
