SCOIR- SCOIR is a platform used as a college application tool to offer students grades 9
-12 a way to support their post-secondary, college and career planning. It is designed to assist students and parents/guardians in making informed decisions about college opportunities and career choices with the ability to research colleges, view statistical and historical data, build a resume, take a career interest inventory, and view schedules for college representatives visiting their high schools. OCPS has made SCOIR readily available
for all students. If you would like to receive a parent link to your child’s SCOIR site, find out more information regarding the tool or if you would prefer your student(s) do not use the college planning tool, please contact our College and Career Specialist, Stephanie Johnson Possell at [email protected].
