Early Warning At-Risk settings in the Admin Dashboard empower administrators to define the specific criteria that identifies a student as “at risk" according to discipline referrals, absences and low grades.
Define thresholds for each category, name the at-risk level and color code the entry to easily identify students that meet your definitions. Even schedule a daily email alert to stay in-the-know when a student meets at-risk criteria.
To set up Early Warning At-Risk definitions, log in to jmc Office and go to File > Admin Dashboard.
Step One: Click the "Early Warning At-Risk Settings" tab to begin defining risk thresholds for discipline/referrals, absences, and grades (Ds/Fs).
Step Two: Click the "Add Row" link under a section (Discipline/Referrals, Absences, or Grades (Ds/Fs)) to create a new level.
Step Three: Select a color with the color picker to correspond with the at-risk level.
Step Four: Enter a name in the "Level" field to define the at-risk level.
Step Five: Enter a value in "Total Referrals per Year", "Total Absences per Year", or "Total Low Grades per Year" to set the level's minimum threshold.
Step Six: Click the "Save" link to add the level or the "Cancel" link to discard your changes.
Helpful Tip: Add multiple rows within each category to create tiered alert levels. Use consistent colors across categories to make it easier to quickly identify at-risk students. For example:
Step Seven: Repeat steps two through six to define all Early Warning At-Risk levels for the "Discipline/Referrals," "Absences," and "Grades (Ds/Fs)" categories.
Helpful Tip: Click the "Edit" link to update an existing level or, the "Delete" link to remove one.
Step Eight: Place a checkmark in the "Schedule Daily Alert" checkbox to enable daily email notifications when students change levels.
Step Nine: Enter a date or click the calendar icon to select the start date for email alerts.
Step Ten: Enter a time or click the clock icon to select when alerts are sent each day.
Step Eleven: Enter one or more email addresses in the "Email To" field to specify alert recipients.
Helpful Tip: To enter multiple users, such as guidance counselors or at-risk coordinators, separate each email address with a comma.
Step Twelve: Click the "Save" button to apply your daily alert settings.
