HOW TO APPLY TO STUDENTLINK
StudentLink is open to students in grades 9-12. Following are the steps to apply to the program:
1. The student or parent (guardian) may call the StudentLink office at 463-9171, ext. 504, and speak briefly with a StudentLink staff person to get basic information about how the program works. If you like what you hear, pick up an application packet.
2. Read through the information in the packet and, if you think that the program might be a good fit, then fill out the application form and the sheet titled “First Reflections.”
3. Call StudentLink to set up an appointment with a StudentLink teacher for an “intake meeting.” The intake meeting is a chance to learn more about StudentLink and discuss with a teacher whether or not it is the right option for you. Setting up the intake does not mean that you have made a commitment to enroll. The student and parent(s) must both attend (unless the student is homeless and/or parents are otherwise not available - in which case let us know). At the meeting, the teacher will ask why you are interested in StudentLink and will explain how the program works. If there is room in the program and all parties—student, parent and teacher—feel that the program would be a good match, then the teacher will give you enrollment paperwork to complete.
4. When you return the completed enrollment paperwork, the secretary will notify you when you will start StudentLink. If you are out of school, you may start right away. If you are attending another school (such as VHS), you will need to finish out the term before starting in StudentLink.
