Automated At-Risk Student Early Warning
Every Monday, WebRun reads recent grades and attendance in PowerSchool, checks missing work in Google Classroom, finds students slipping on more than one signal, and posts your support team an internal Slack digest ranked by how many warning signs each student shows.
How do I build a weekly at-risk student early-warning report automatically?
Every Monday, WebRun reads recent grades and attendance in PowerSchool, checks missing work in Google Classroom, and finds students slipping on more than one signal. It posts your support team an internal Slack digest ranked by how many warning signs each student shows, so counselors can step in before a student falls behind.
- At-risk students surface weekly across grades, attendance, and work
- The list ranks by number of warning signs, not one metric
- Recovered students drop off automatically each run

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it contact students or families on its own?
No. This is an internal digest for your support team only. WebRun reads the data and posts a ranked Slack list. Whether and how to reach a student, family, or counselor stays a human decision your team makes from the digest.
What makes a student show up on the list?
WebRun looks across signals rather than one bad grade. A student appears when two or more line up, for example a failing grade plus rising absences plus stacking missing work, which is a stronger early-warning sign than any single metric.
Does it label or rank students permanently?
No. The digest reflects only this week's PowerSchool and Google Classroom data and is rebuilt each Monday. A student who recovers drops off the next run, so the list stays a current snapshot, not a label.
