Recognition communications
Student- and family-friendly letters, welcome materials, and a consistent explanation of the program.
For educators and school partners
Help us recognize students before they have to ask for help.
School partners make early recognition possible. RDCF adds a community support layer that can reinforce—not replace—the college-readiness work educators already lead.
A student should not have to reach a crisis before a community organization reaches out.
The partnership principleThe partner role
Light lift. Clear handoffs. Consistent encouragement.
The pilot is designed to respect school capacity, student privacy, and the relationships educators already hold.
