If you would like to see your EWIS reports in a timely manner, please work with your district administration to ensure that SIMS, SCS and SSDR data is certified by their deadline (SIMS: July 14,2023; SCS & SSDR: August 18, 2023)
Student level and Aggregate EWIS reports will be available in Edwin Student level reports require an "Administrator" security role to be designated by your local Edwin Analytics contact. It is highly suggested that school counselors, and school and district administrators be designated with this role to fully engage with the information available.

The ABCs of Success in High School and Beyond
This data story provides information for parents, community members, and educators from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) on how attendance, behavior, and course performance in Massachusetts high schools affect postsecondary outcomes.

Where does EWIS come from?

'We identified two areas to begin the work in: math and attendance.'

'If we see that an intervention isn't having an effect, we try something else.'

'First quarter failures are down from last year by quite a bit.'

'These kids were at risk of dropping out - now they're talking about rooming together in college.'

'We used EWIS risk to narrow in on 30 students and understand attendance more deeply.'

'We're assigning success mentors, related to students' tardies and attendance.'

'We can at least make sure that each High Risk student has an adult who's connecting with them - looking out for them - every day.'
