High Plains REC is pleased to coordinate the Early Warning System (EWS) Las Cruces Regional Gathering. This collaborative opportunity is presented by the New Mexico Public Education College and Career Readiness Bureau and The Everyone Graduates Center (EGC) at Johns Hopkins University. This training is by invitation only to Las Cruces area schools who have committed to building Early Warning Systems (EWS) to support the early intervention of students at-risk of dropping out of high school.

Based on groundbreaking research by Robert Balfanz and EGC’s extensive experience as a school improvement organization, presenters will share information that both describes the data points essential to determine supports for students and ways to organize the data that connect students to interventions.

Schools will work with EGC staff to learn how to build systems to regularly monitor the Early Warning Indicators of Attendance, Behavior, and Course Performance (the ABCs). Participants will leave with a stronger understanding of how to implement and develop whole school, targeted, and intensive interventions that help prevent students from falling off-track and help students get back on-track for graduation and future successes.

This training is for the following schools –

• Gadsden High
• Gadsden – Chaparral Middle
• Hatch Valley High
• Las Cruces Schools – Centennial High and Onate High
• New America School – Las Cruces
• Silver City Schools – La Plata Middle School
• Silver City High

• Registration and breakfast snacks will be from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.

• Participants will need to bring a charged laptop or tablet.
• The session will end at 4:00 p.m.
