Graduation Monitoring

In order to stay “on track” for graduation, students in high school must earn 30 credits per semester and 60 credits per year. When students fail a semester course, they earn 0 credits and fall behind on the road to graduation

Designed to assist schools in communicating effectively and timely with students and parents/guardians on student’s progress toward high school graduation. The goal is to provide every family with the assistance and guidance to successfully identify, plan, and prepare for graduation. This Summary is structured around 3 key components including:

1. Identifying students who fall off-track for graduation;

2. Notifying students and parents/guardians of their off-track status;

3. Monitoring gradation progress; and

Alliance schools can:

1. Identify when a student falls off-track for graduation and deploy methods to address their

needs;

2. Ensure that an equitable system is in place to mitigate the off-track status notification to

parents/guardians and student; and

3. Ensure that the plan is delivered systematically to all students.
