Student Lifecycle & Retention

From enrolled to re-enrolled: onboarding, milestones, early-warning signals and re-enrollment handled on a schedule.

The problem

Retention work is seasonal in name only. The families who leave usually signalled it months earlier, in ways no report surfaced at the time.

How it works

We model the family journey by year and division, automate the touchpoints and internal checks at each stage, and surface early-warning signals from engagement, attendance and billing patterns.

  • Onboarding journeys for new families
  • Milestone and re-enrollment sequences by year group
  • Early-warning signals routed to a named owner
  • Exit-risk reporting for leadership

Academic-calendar timing

Education automation is seasonal. We build and launch against your year, not a generic quarter.

Aug–Sep

New-family onboarding.

Jan–Feb

Re-enrollment window.

Mar–May

Follow-up on undecided families and melt prevention.

In practice

Re-enrollment opens with every family already prompted and tracked, so the retention team can spend its weeks on the small number who have not responded. (Illustrative composite.)

  • Earlier commitments
  • Signals surfaced while they are still actionable

FERPA & data handling

Student and family records stay in your systems and remain your property. Access is scoped to what the automation needs, every action is logged, and retention follows the policy you set.
