Let's talk about student retention. It takes a lot of time, money, and energy to get a family enrolled into your school, so once they are in, you want to make sure they stay. Yet, inevitably, each year there are some students that chose not to return (or even leave mid-year). So, what can you do to keep that attrition in check? Join us for a deep dive into the top 5 strategies to make sure your students are still showing up (happily!) year after year. We’ll be tackling everything from those elusive “school-fit” issues to cracking the code on re-enrollment roadblocks. Here’s what’s in store (without giving it all away): ✨ Practical tips to keep students and parents connected to your school community ✨ The key elements at your school that may be impacting retention ✨ Quick tips to make re-enrollment simpler If keeping your students around sounds like a win to you, come hang out with us in this fun, actionable session this Thursday, November 7th at 10am PST! You might just walk away with a whole new game plan for boosting retention! Register here: https://lnkd.in/gv4r3udQ (ps for schools in AZ! The webinar session will be held at 10am PST as always, but because AZ does not participate in daylight savings, this is now 11am for you! We wouldn't want you to miss it 😉)

Reading stories like these truly make us giddy. Our core mission centers around the concept of "students first." What better way to put students first than to actually make the space for their voices in their education? When students are encouraged to lead and bring their unique ideas to the table, education thrives. It’s a reminder that every learner deserves an environment that celebrates their individuality and caters to how they learn best. Thank you, Dr. Monique Darrisaw-Akil, for sharing your story of how your district is putting students first every day. We're so excited to see how other schools also implement these impactful changes and new ideas to continue to improve educational outcomes. https://lnkd.in/gvJ8yh-q
