Winfree Academy Charter Schools present the Linking Tree program.  Linking Tree is an internal web based alert system designed to link our students with partnering agencies when there is an unmet need.  Any student, teacher or parent can complete a referral and give it to the campus Linking Tree Liaison.  Once the referral is put into the portal at (www.linkingtree.org) an automatic email is sent to partnering agencies that offer needed services.  The agencies respond by contacting the family to inform them of the available services.  This enables the community to support student in need in order to make them academically successful.  Linking Tree is now available on all six campuses and covers Dallas, Denton, and Tarrant counties. 

When the system is alerted to a student in need a dedicated team of professionals is called to arms. Notification is delivered to the project manager, needs are assessed and assigned to appropriate professionals, relevant prognosis/diagnosis information is communicated to the project manager, and adjustments to students education plan are implemented.
