SUSD provides a great planning tool called Naviance for your middle level student. Naviance is a college and career planning resource for students beginning in the 6th grade to help them plan their educational path, including their Educational Career and Action Plan (ECAP). While using Naviance, students can complete inventories that will help define their strengths and interests. Within Naviance, your student will begin to participate in activities such as Goal Setting, Career Exploration, Course Planning, and High School Readiness. Each Middle School student will pay an ECAP fee of five dollars ($5) at the beginning of the school year, and students will receive a personal access code.
Naviance provides comprehensive tools that your child can use with their school counselor to help them make plans about courses, colleges and careers. Students will continue to utilize the program through high school. Naviance features allow you and your child to:
- Get involved in the planning and advising process – Build a resume, complete online surveys, 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
- Research careers – Research hundreds of careers and career clusters, and take career assessments like the Do What You Are® test
- Create plans for the future – Build course plans, create goals and action plans, and complete tasks assigned to you by the school to better prepare yourself for your future college and career goals
Naviance can be used to share information with you and your child about upcoming meetings and events, local scholarship opportunities and other resources for college and career information.

We hope you find this opportunity for your student helpful as we work together on your student’s academic and social growth. Feel free to contact your school’s counselor if you have any questions.
