Naviance Family Connection
 Family Connection is…
 Highly configurable
 Unique to each school site
 Personalized
 These factors enable schools and districts to align
usage with their goals and/or curriculum
 Each student has an account that is accessed with a
user name and password.
 Parents and guardians can also be given access to an
account related to their child or children. Parent access
is more “view not do.”
