LASALLE DEWS PLAN of ACTION
Drop-Out Early Warning System
Grades 7 thru 12
PURPOSE of DEWS:
- Prevent students from dropping out of school and to increase their likelihood to graduate and become productive citizens in society.
- Reduce drop-out rates and increase graduation rates.
PROCESS:
Identify the At-Risk:
- At-risk students are being “flagged” for Attendance, Discipline, GPA, and Age
- Automatic emails are sent to the appropriate stakeholders – Building Level, District, and State as they are generated by JCAMPUS.
Intervene:
- School teams of various disciplines intervene with action plans designed to meet the individual needs of the student as it applies to the areas of concern.
Record & Track:
- A student who is determined to be in need of DEWS interventions are documented and tracked via JCAMPUS log, court reports & other forms of documentation as deemed appropriate.
- Successes are reported to the DEWS District Coordinator on a monthly basis.
