What’s a check-in?
A check-in is an opportunity—a moment for students to pause, reflect, and ask for support when they need it. Closegap's check-ins create a safe, trusted space where young people can share openly, confident that support is waiting on the other side.
Schools using Closegap have prevented suicides and uncovered cases of self-harm, sexual assault, bullying and other issues that would have otherwise gone unnoticed.

Case Study: school BUILDS A CULTURE OF COMMUNICATION Every Student Has a Way to Say It: How Woodland Academy Built a Culture of Communication with Closegap
When educators talk about which students benefit most from a daily emotional check-in, the conversation usually centers on the quiet kids. The ones who slip through the cracks. The ones who don't raise their hand or stop by the counselor's office.
That story is true. But at Woodland Academy, a preschool through eighth-grade school where Shannon Satira leads social-emotional learning, the team has discovered something more nuanced. Closegap is reaching even more students than they expected, in moments when it really matters.
