Early Warning System

The Early Warning System (EWS) provides your school with a graphical view of how your students are doing in specific areas, including Marks, Attendance, Incidents and, if applicable, GLOs. The system shows results in three groups, with the intent to address signs of need in their early stages:

• Off-Track

• Approaching Off-Track

• On-Track

Users can drill down for more detailed information, and those with appropriate access can see names of students and access their Student Profile in eCSSS.  

To view EWS:

1. From the Navigation Menu, select School Profile.

2. Use Livesearch to locate your school record.

3. Click View Early Warning System.

   NOTE: Track/Combo schools can filter results to a selected Track or Combo School. 
    

5. The bar chart indicates the following:

• Red - Off-Track

• Yellow - Approaching Off-Track

• Green - On-Track
  
  The tables below show how a student's performance is calculated to indicate whether the student is off-track, approaching off-track or on-track. The Incidents table (third one below) shows how Offense Classes are weighted.
