Readiness — WELCOME

I consistently create a positive first interaction for students arriving or returning after an absence.

Readiness — CONNECT

Readiness — DISCOVER

Readiness — RESPOND

Readiness — FOLLOW-UP

I understand that a referral is not complete until someone owns the next step and the support loop is closed.

My next connection would be:Scenario 4 — A student has been welcomed back, but the attendance pattern continues. The next level/process I would consider is:
