Goal

During the 2023-2024 school year, our goal is to increase student attendance across all grade levels. An underlying aspect of improvement is that grades will also increase.  

 

What will be done with my students

To meet this goal, we create an incentives closet with items students may earn for little to no absences. Students will also earn schoolwide recognition with attendance parties. By having tangible items available and attainable, students work hard to achieve them. During the nine weeks, we will monitor attendance. Once the reporting period ends, students who meet the goal will earn prizes such as a pancake breakfast, school-wide recognition, awards from the incentives closet, a water gun fight, and a kickball game with the faculty.  

 

Benefits to my students

Positive behavior support systems are research-based and have a long track record of changing behavior. Our school incentives closet is a part of our process of changing attendance rates to benefit our students. Students benefit from this grant in numerous ways:
1. Earn tangible rewards for achievement
2. With higher attendance, grades will increase
3. Faculty builds a positive, caring relationship with students
4. Students become responsible for their reward 

 

Budget Narrative

All items from this budget come directly from student responses and requests. The number next to each item is the quantity. All items will be rewarded through the incentives closet or earned recognition based on attendance. Vendor items are all from Amazon, and the total does not include shipping.
