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 proceed to File > Admin Dashboard.
Step One: Click the "Early Warning-At Risk Settings" tab to begin defining your "At Risk" levels for Discipline/Referrals, Absences or Grades-Ds/Fs.
Step Two: Click the “Add Row” link in "Discipline/Referrals", "Absences", or "Grades-Ds/Fs" to establish an at-risk 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 number in the "Total Referrals per Year", "Total Absences per Year", or "Total Low Grades per Year" to establish the minimum threshold that defines the "At-Risk" level.
Step Six: Click the "Save" link to add the "At-Risk" level or click the "Cancel" link to discard your changes.
Helpful Tip: Add multiple rows in each category to create a list of alert levels using consistent colors throughout to make it easier to 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 edit an existing "At-Risk" level or click the "Delete" link to remove an "At-Risk" level.
