Through rising chronic absenteeism, increases in behavioral challenges, and declines in college enrollment after high school, many students are signaling that school is no longer a place they can or want to be. To address this problem, high schools across the country are consolidating disparate student support efforts into a unified approach led by student success teams. Schools can, by themselves, act on the elements that drive connection: They can establish baselines, identify improvement strategies, measure impact, and then work to continually improve. Strong relationships are the heart of school connectedness and how students who have stopped believing in school can reengage. This article describes the author's experience leading the GRAD Partnership, a student success team, and provides examples of collaborations with high schools and the role of educators and state boards in countering the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and student disconnection.
