Early Warning System (EWS) The Early Warning System will be on the WOW system. We will add a EWS (early warning system) tab under the Menus section of the WOW system. The application was created for grades 6-12. **If you are a school administrator you will see your school **If you are a county person administrator you will be able to see all schools in your county **If you have Special Education access you will be able to see the SWD option (Students with Disability) When a user first signs onto the EWS system it will show the defaults for the EWS. These defaults can be changed. The defaults were set based on extensive studies of early warning indicators. Explanation of drop down menus: Record Type – A user can choose current school only or All schools Current School only will only show information for current schools All schools will show information for the student from any other school they may have attended Grade – A user can chose an individual grade in the school or ALL grades The next tab shows EWS (early warning students only), ALL (All students in the school including early warning students), or SWD (students with disability only) Attendance – The default for attendance is 10% of days missed. This includes excused and unexcused absences. Example calculation: Student John Doe missed 19 days out of 164. They missed 11.59% of days and would be an indicator for the EWS system under attendance. Attendance will be collected nightly. A user can change this default to look at ALL absences or only unexcused absences A user can change the 10% default to days A user can also change the 10 or more value Behavior/Discipline – The default for Behavior is the student had to have a lever 2 or higher offence with 2 or more occurrences. Behavior/Discipline will be collected nightly. A user can change the default to look at level 1 thru 4 A user can change the # of occurrences
