Connection

Support without surveillance

Staff can see milestones, deadlines, and support needs while student essay content remains private.

How connection shows up in GradLaunch

Concrete behaviors in the software — not a mission statement.

Progress without private writing

Staff can see essay status, word count, and the last update. Staff views do not include the student’s essay text or draft content.

Caseloads surface students who need support

The staff view ranks students using actionable signals such as missing college lists, incomplete FAFSA steps, unconfirmed deadlines, and overdue work.

Check ins capture support context

Staff can record a short support note, concern, and follow up date. These notes stay separate from student essays and drafts.

Access follows staff roles and school scope

Teachers see assigned students. Principals see their campus, and superintendents see district campuses. Access is checked on the server.

How we operate under this word

Policies and product boundaries you can verify in how we ship.

Support is not limited to one job title

The platform supports teachers, counselors, principals, and superintendents with access appropriate to their role and school scope.

Student writing stays outside staff views

College data in staff views is intentionally limited to progress signals and records. Essay text is not selected or returned in staff snapshots.
