This resource provides an overview of the Early Warning System tool and process, which is designed to support students who are at risk of dropping out of school with both school-wide strategies and targeted interventions. It provides background information, an implementation guide, and both a high school and middle school tool to identify and monitor students at risk of dropping out of school. It can be accessed here.

This tool can support broader school improvement efforts, including the implementation of School Improvement Grants (SIG), by facilitating the use of data to identify students in need of support or intervention.
