Case Study: Westbury Union Free School District streamlines elementary counseling and early college readiness with SchooLinks

Westbury Union Free School District streamlines elementary counseling for 5,400 students with SchooLinks

The Westbury Union Free School District, serving over 5,400 students, faced the challenge of supporting its elementary school counselors in their expansive role. Counselors needed to deliver comprehensive character education and college and career readiness (CCR) while managing numerous other responsibilities, all without a unified system to bring these critical elements together. They turned to the vendor SchooLinks and its all-in-one CCR platform to address this need.

SchooLinks provided a solution by offering a comprehensive suite of tools, including high-quality, CASEL-aligned lessons and supplementary resources. This allowed counselors to save significant time on lesson planning and instead focus on high-impact, direct student interactions. The SchooLinks platform also delivered critical data and insights, enabling counselors to personalize their support and tailor initiatives to specific student needs and interests. The implementation fostered early student engagement and provided cohesive planning from elementary through secondary school.
