Foundation Offers Naviance Informational Sessions for Parents
  
WHS has adopted the Naviance System this year to assist our students and parents in the college application process.  Naviance is a delivery system and a college/career search engine. Walton Students will use Naviance for transcript requests, teacher/counselor recommendations, college visit registration, scholarship information, and documentation of Community Service Hours. Since the school year began, the
Counseling Department has been working with students to assist them in setting up their student account and will continue this process until each student account is active.  Parents are also encouraged to set up a Parent account to monitor their student's e-Documents and to explore the incredible resources for choosing a college and career available through the Naviance system.

The WHS Foundation will be offering Informational Sessions for Parents during the week of Sept. 14th. 
 
Click here to register for one of the 30 minute sessions:  Naviance Family Connections.
