The Early Warning Intervention and Monitoring System (EWIMS) is a proactive, data-informed approach that helps schools identify and support students who may be at risk of falling behind. By monitoring key indicators like attendance, behavior, and course performance, EWIMS enables educators to intervene early—before small challenges become bigger barriers to success. For districts, it offers a structured process to improve student outcomes. For families and community partners, it provides a clear way to collaborate with schools in supporting students’ academic journeys. Ultimately, EWIMS helps keep more students on track to graduate—by ensuring no one slips through the cracks.
“You really need to have strong teacher-leaders to make something like this work. However, our teachers see the need and have adopted EWIMS with fidelity. This process has become so important that it is considered sacred in many ways. We dedicate our time, effort, and resources to this 6-12 strategy.”
Bruce Mangum, Assistant Superintendent, Baldwin Community Schools
"Initially, our primary data piece was course grades, but we came to realize that grades were a reflection of student engagement. To get students engaged, the first step was to improve attendance, so attendance became a focus area for our EWIMS team."
Nicole Carpenter, Principal, Durand High School, Durand Area Schools
"Our EWIMS Team developed a set of attendance interventions and supports within three tier levels, which has improved both attendance and graduation rates."
James Woodfork, Graduation Specialist at Lansing-Sexton High School, Lansing School District
