Nonresponse Follow-Up (E-Mail Text)
Dear ,
I am contacting you on behalf of the U.S. Department of Education to discuss an opportunity for to participate in a study that would provide access to the National High School
Center’s Early Warning and Intervention Monitoring System (EWIMS) including training and
technical support at no cost.
This project, conducted by the Midwest Regional Educational Laboratory at American Institutes for
Research (AIR) and funded by the U.S. Department of Education’s Institutes of Educational Sciences, is
aimed at preventing high school dropout by using data to identify at-risk students early in high school and
assign struggling students to interventions that get them back on track for eventual graduation.
The timeline for recruiting districts and schools to participate in this opportunity is extremely tight.
Would you be able to touch base briefly by phone on , to discuss whether
this might be a good opportunity for ?
Please feel free to reach me by email or at 312-283-2318.
Thank you and I look forward to speaking with you!
