v Pocatello/Chubbuck School District 25 uses the Infinite Campus Portal which allows parents to login and access their student's grades, class attendance, assignment information and related messages from the school and teachers. When you create your account you will be linked to all of your students district wide no matter what SD#25 school they attend. The parent portal is designed to increase communication with teachers, allow you to check progress, see what's due and when, and to help give you more tools to ensure that your student is successful in school.
If you do not already have an account and would like to activate

Dear Highland Students & Families,
Here is a primer on the various options, tools, forms, and platforms that we want our seniors to be familiar with.
Apply Idaho –
Opened October 1st
Apply Idaho is the state of Idaho’s platform from which students can apply to ten Idaho training programs and colleges for free. The six schools with career technical programs and the four-year universities are all represented. Students can pursue programs in everything from Unmanned Aerial Systems (drones) to Biomedical Engineering and everything in between. Students will need their EDUID number, which the college career advisors can provide. The platform asks for Social Security #s as well, so that accepted students can have their information forwarded directly to Financial Aid offices. We will be reaching out to students to take advantage of this easy and free service, or students can approach us for help and guidance.
FAFSA => Free
Application for Federal Student Aid Opened October 1st
On October 1st, the FAFSA opened for the 2022 – 2023 school year opened. All students, regardless of family income or status, are required to submit a FAFSA if students plan to attend a career technical training program, two years of college, or four years of college. A completed FAFSA makes students eligible for financial aid and scholarships. No FAFSA? No financial aid or scholarships. We STRONGLY encourage students to fill out their own FAFSA (with family submitting their financial information) because the student is the one enrolled and the FAFSA is submitted in the student’s name. The FAFSA can seem intimidating, but the college career advisors are here to help. After college applications are done, do your FAFSA! Every year that a student attends a training program or college, he or she needs to easily update and resubmit the FAFSA.
Going on a Mission?
Are you planning on a mission right after high school? If so, please complete your college applications and submit a FAFSA before you go. Apply Idaho is free; requesting transcripts is free; many school have waiver codes. But if you apply to college while you are on a mission or when you get back, the application process will cost money, which is just the first hurdle. Training programs and colleges in the West will defer your admission and most scholarships as long as you complete the necessary paperwork. Getting your college or training program ducks enables you to focus and commit to your mission without distraction.
Military
Military service is another consideration for our high school juniors and seniors. We want students interested in the military to take the ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery), which will guide students toward the military careers that suit their skill set and career interest. Military recruiters – the National Guard, the Army, the Marines, and more – are often at Highland and we can connect students to the branch that might interest them. The military is also a way to help pay for post-secondary training or college while building your resume and professional skills
Work
Are you going into the workforce after you graduate (or if you’re graduating early)? Then please use the college career advisors and guidance counselors for resume feedback, interview prep, guidance on preparation for the world of work.
Scholarships
Here is the sequence of events:
1) Apply
to college or training.
2) Be
accepted to college or training programs.
3) Start
to apply for scholarships.
The college career advisors will be glad to help you with each step of the process above. There are three types of scholarship: need-based, merit (based often on academics), or talent (you play the bassoon or play baseball). And scholarships are NOT just for brainiacs. Idaho State, for example, has lots and lots of scholarship money for students accepted to all of their programs. We can show you how to use the scholarship website at the schools you’ve been accepted to.
