SchooLinks K–5 gives students the tools to start building self-awareness, explore career possibilities, and own their own story — from kindergarten through 5th grade. Every feature is age-differentiated, connected to the next grade band, and tied to the same record they'll carry all the way to graduation.
🗺️
Goals & Continuity
Flight Plan
Students build a living record of their goals, interests, and reflections starting in elementary school. Every entry carries forward automatically — no reset at 6th grade, no re-entry in high school. The plan grows as they do.
🎯
Age-Appropriate Goal Setting
SMART Goals
Guided by the platform character at every step. K–2 goals are teacher-supported; grades 3–5 are student-led. Students set goals, track progress, and connect their ambitions to real learning activities.
🔭
Career Clusters
Career Exploration
Students explore career families through age-appropriate lessons, guided activities, and interest-based matching. Career vocabulary and curiosity are built early — so students arrive at middle school with a foundation, not a blank slate.
💡
Self-Discovery
Career Interest Inventory
Students complete structured interest explorations that surface patterns in what they enjoy, how they think, and what energizes them. Results connect directly to career clusters and populate the personalized plan automatically.
🗂️
Record of Growth
Portfolio Building
Students collect work samples, reflections, and achievements as they progress through K–5. The portfolio builds alongside the Flight Plan — giving counselors, teachers, and families a richer picture of the whole student.
📋
Bridge to Middle School
Course Planner
5th graders begin exploring what their academic path could look like — courses, pathways, and options — so the transition to middle school feels like a continuation, not a cold start. Connects directly to the secondary platform's four-year plan.
🧭
Your Pathways
District Pathway Explorer
Students explore the career pathways your district has defined — CTE programs, endorsements, specialized tracks — years before they have to choose. Early familiarity leads to more intentional decisions later.
📄
Student-Owned
Personalized Plan
Not a worksheet. A living document populated by lessons, goal progress, interest inventories, and reflections. The connective tissue of the K–5 experience — and it follows the student into secondary.
🧠
Self-Awareness
Self-Knowledge, One Quiz at a Time
Students complete short, structured self-quizzes that build self-awareness across interests, strengths, and learning styles. Results populate the personalized plan automatically — so every quiz becomes part of the student's growing record. Five quizzes available now, with more added each semester.
📚
Learning Library
A Library Built for Curiosity
The Learning Hub gives students access to age-appropriate videos, readings, and interactive content organized by career cluster and grade band. Students can explore on their own or follow counselor-assigned paths — learning that meets them where they are.
🎮
Life Skills
Real Decisions. Real Consequences. In a Game.
The Game of Life simulation walks students through financial planning scenarios tied to career choices — making the connection between education, career, and adult life tangible and engaging. Designed for grades 3–5, fully guided for younger learners.
💚
Student Wellness
How Are You Feeling Today?
Students complete brief, regular wellness check-ins that help counselors understand the whole child — not just academic progress. Check-in responses are private, age-appropriate, and immediately visible in the counselor dashboard for early intervention.
🥽
Virtual Exploration
Step Inside a Career
Virtual reality career tours let students experience workplaces, job sites, and professions from their classroom. Tours are organized by career cluster and connect directly to the career exploration and interest inventory experiences.
