Dear <<Student>>:
We are pleased to announce that <<Demo High School>> is introducing a new college planning system called Scoir. We have chosen Scoir to help you navigate the college selection and application process because it is simply the best system available for discovering colleges that match your personal as well as academic interests.
You will soon receive an email invitation from Scoir or a unique URL from your counselor with a link to register your account. Once you create your account, you can immediately begin using Scoir to search for and start building a list of colleges that interest you. You will be required to use Scoir to request letters of recommendation from faculty and to request the sending of academic transcripts. Your parents/guardians will also have access to Scoir to assist you in your college selection and to gain more insight about the cost of attendance at different colleges. The counseling office will be using Scoir to communicate with you during your college planning process and to electronically deliver your application materials to colleges.
We are excited to be able to provide Scoir to our students and families, and we feel confident that you will find it helpful and easy to use. Before you get started, please take a moment to watch the short video and review the resources below to help you become familiar with how to use Scoir.
Inform your Parents/Guardians - Notification Template for Parents/Guardians
Dear <<Parent/Guardian>>:
The college counseling team at <<Demo High School>> is pleased to announce that we are introducing a new system called Scoir to help you and your student navigate the college selection and application process.
Students will soon gain access to Scoir and will send you an email invitation so that you can link to their account. As a parent or guardian, you will be able to view their profiles, see their college list, conduct your own college searches, and suggest colleges for your student to consider. Scoir also provides parents with financial tools so that you can get a better sense of the cost of attendance at various colleges during the selection process.
We are excited to be able to provide Scoir to our students and families, and we feel confident that you will find it helpful and easy to use. Before you get started, please take a few moments to watch the brief videos and resources below to help you become familiar with how to use Scoir.
Inform your Teachers - Notification Template for Faculty
Dear <<Faculty>>:
The counseling department is pleased to announce that we are introducing a new college planning system called Scoir. While Scoir is ideally suited to help our students discover colleges that match their personal as well as academic interests, it will also streamline related administrative process such as providing letters of recommendation.
Students will soon gain access to Scoir to begin their college selection and application process. When a student needs a letter of recommendation for their college applications, they can request this directly in Scoir. However, teachers will need to complete the registration process before the student can send you a request. You will receive an email notification with a link to Scoir and simply need to create a password to access your account. To provide a letter of recommendation, you may either type the letter directly into Scoir or upload a letter in .pdf format. Your letter will then be available for the counseling department to send electronically with the student’s other application materials.
We are excited to be able to provide Scoir to our students and families, and we feel confident that you will find it helpful and easy to use. Before you get started, please take a watch the brief video and resource below to help you become familiar with how to use Scoir.
Informar a sus Estudiantes - Plantilla de notificación para los Estudiantes
Querido Estudiante,
Estamos satisfechos por anunciar que <<Nombre de la escuela>> está introduciendo un nuevo sistema que se llama Scoir. Hemos elegido a Scoir para ayudarte a navegar el proceso de selección y aplicación a las universidades porque es simplemente el mejor sistema disponible para descubrir las universidades que combinan tus intereses personales y académicos.
Pronto, recibirás una invitación de Scoir por email o un URL único de tu consejero académico con un link para registrar tu cuenta. Cuando crees tu cuenta, podrás empezar a usar Scoir para buscar universidades y para crear una lista de universidades que te interesan. Será requerido que uses Scoir para pedir las cartas de recomendación de tus maestros y para pedir el envío de los expedientes académicos. Tus padres/tutores legales también tendrán acceso a Scoir para ayudarte en tu proceso de selección y para obtener más información sobre el costo de asistencia de las universidades diferentes. La oficina de orientación usará Scoir para comunicarte durante tu proceso de planear para la universidad y para enviar electrónicamente tus materiales para tus aplicaciones a las universidades.
Estamos felices de proveerles Scoir a nuestros estudiantes y familias, y estamos confidentes de que vayan a encontrarlo muy útil y fácil de usar.

Queridos <<Padres/Tutores Legales>>,
El departamento de orientación de <<Nombre de su escuela>> está satisfecho por anunciar que estamos introduciendo un nuevo sistema que se llama Scoir para ayudarles a ustedes y su estudiante a navegar el proceso de selección y aplicación a las universidades.
Pronto, los estudiantes obtendrán acceso a Scoir y les mandarán a ustedes una invitación por email para que puedan conectarse a la cuenta de su estudiante. Con su propia cuenta de Scoir, podrán ver el perfil de su estudiante, ver sus listas de universidades, hacer sus propias búsquedas de universidades, y sugerirle a su estudiante algunas universidades para considerar. Scoir también les provee a los padres/tutores legales las herramientas financieras para que obtengan un estimado más comprehensivo del costo de asistencia de varias universidades durante el proceso de selección.
Estamos felices de proveerles Scoir a nuestros estudiantes y sus familias, y estamos confidentes de que vayan a encontrarlo muy útil y fácil de usar.
Informar a su Personal Docente - Plantilla de notificación para el Personal Docente
Querido <<Personal Docente>>,
El departamento de orientación está satisfecho por anunciar que estamos introduciendo un nuevo sistema de planificación para la universidad que se llama Scoir. Mientras que Scoir es idealmente usado para ayudar a nuestros estudiantes a descubrir universidades que combinan sus intereses personales además de académicos, también nos ayudará a los consejeros académicos y maestros con el proceso administrativo relacionado, tal como proveer las cartas de recomendación.
Pronto, los estudiantes obtendrán acceso a Scoir para empezar su proceso de selección y aplicación a las universidades. Cuando un estudiante necesite una carta de recomendación para sus aplicaciones a la universidad, podrán pedirlas directamente en Scoir. Sin embargo, los maestros tendrán que completar el proceso de registración en Scoir antes de que el estudiante les pueda mandar un pedido. Usted recibirá una notificación por email con un link a la página de registración de Scoir y simplemente tendrá que crear una contraseña para obtener acceso a su cuenta. Para proveer una carta de recomendación, puede teclear la carta directamente en Scoir o subir una carta en la forma PDF. Entonces, su carta estará disponible al departamento de orientación para mandar electrónicamente con los otros materiales de la aplicación del estudiante.
Estamos felices de proveerles Scoir a nuestros estudiantes y sus familias, y estamos confidentes de que vayan a encontrarlo muy útil y fácil de usar.
