Student Re-Engagement: Helping High School Students Reconnect

Student re-engagement is the work of helping a young person reconnect with learning, trusted adults and a realistic path toward graduation. It requires more than sending reminders; schools need to understand the reason for disconnection and make the next step achievable.

THE PROBLEM

High-school support breaks down when the student story is fragmented.

Students who disengage can disappear across attendance lists, withdrawn-student records, credit gaps and disconnected outreach efforts. Without coordinated ownership, schools can repeatedly contact a student without changing the pathway available to them.
