SchooLinks Instructions

Logging in to SchooLinks: 

All students should go to auth.pvschools.net. Click on the Clever app. Log in using Active Directory. Once on Clever, scroll down to the SchooLinks App. 

Parent/Guardian Access to SchooLinks: 

Parents will be provided access to SchooLinks with the emails provided during Annual Update (Electronic Emergency Card). Please make sure this information is correct so you can receive access. 

SchooLinks Letter of Recommendation Request: 

Make sure you check your college applications to see who they want Letters of Recommendation from. It's always best practice to meet with your recommender face to face and to thank them after. When you apply via Common App to schools, a Counselor Letter of Recommendation is almost always required and automatically requested so do not request from them as a teacher. Please speak with your Counselor directly for any information they may need to write your letter.

Common Application Matching: 

If you are using the Common App to apply for colleges you will need to match your account with SchooLinks so your Counselor and Teachers are able to send over information. This video will guide you through the process of setting up a Common App account, adding schools, and show you how to complete FERPA Waiver.
