Naviance 101 with Ms. Sumana Moudgal

Wheeler High School students use a software called Naviance to identify interests, to research which colleges, technical schools, and other post-high school plans best fit their personal and career choices, and to take action towards those goals. Where is the Naviance tool on the Wheeler HS or CCSD website? How does it benefit students? When and how do students begin to use it?  How do students and parents log in?  Join ABC and Ms. Sumana Moudgal, from the Wheeler High School Counseling Office, on Thursday, September 24 at 6:30pm for a parent-oriented Naviance 101 Zoom call to answer these questions and others.  Parents of students from 9th-grade through 12th-grade are welcome to join and learn how Naviance supports students to plan what they will do after high school.
