SchooLinks Parent Q&A Event
Have Questions About SchooLinks? Join SWCS for a Live Virtual Family FAQ
Families of students in grades 7-12 are invited to learn more about South Western City Schools' new college, career and military planning platform on Wednesday, Sept. 2, at 6:30 p.m.
What comes next after graduation?
For South Western City Schools students, planning for that question can begin long before senior year. This school year, SWCS is introducing SchooLinks, a college, career and military planning platform for students in grades 7-12.
To help families learn more about the platform and how it will support students as they explore their options for life after high school, South Western City Schools is hosting a live virtual SchooLinks Parent & Guardian FAQ on Wednesday, September 2, at 6:30 p.m.
During the virtual event, families will receive an introductory overview of SchooLinks, including information about creating and accessing family accounts, navigating the platform and using its tools to support their student's postsecondary planning.
SchooLinks brings a variety of planning resources together in one place, allowing students to explore careers, colleges, military opportunities, apprenticeships, workforce pathways, scholarships, internships and more. The platform also helps students connect their interests and strengths to future opportunities while tracking progress toward Ohio graduation requirements.
The virtual event is designed specifically for parents and guardians of SWCS students in grades 7-12. Families will have the opportunity to learn more about the rollout and hear answers to common questions about using SchooLinks.
Families are encouraged to submit questions in advance using the form below. Submitted questions will help guide the discussion during the event and ensure the presentation addresses the information families most want to know.

Infinite Campus (IC) is the District’s Internet-based student information system. Important features of IC are the Parent Portal and NEW Mobile App. Through the IC tools, parents are able to access their child’s information, such as class schedules, attendance, academic reports, transportation information, coursework, and put funds in their child’s food service account online. Parents can also designate how and where they wish to receive emergency communications, attendance calls, general announcement messages, and e-mail messages from teachers, the school, and the school district. New accounts need an activation key. The district will be mailing those out in August, so save the letter if you need to create a new account.
To create an IC account, please go to: https://www.swcsd.us/InfiniteCampus.aspx
If you already have an IC account, please update your emergency contact information at: https://www.swcsd.us/OnlineAnnualInformationUpdate.aspx
