Connections for Families collaborates with local school districts to provide Game Plan to Success (GPS) meetings. A referral is typically made to Connections for Families by a school professional with concerns regarding a student's attendance and/or academic performance. 

​

The school often utilizes a GPS meeting to create a plan to avoid a youth's involvement in truancy court and/or loss of credits. In a GPS meeting, a youth's strengths and needs are discussed to create an attendance agreement, and factors contributing to a youth's truancy, chronic absenteeism, and/or poor academic performance are identified. The outcome of the meeting is an agreement among the youth, their families, and the school to implement strategies and actions aimed at improving attendance and academic performance.
