My Project
Our typical freshmen class is 500 students. Moving to high school can be a real challenge for freshman. They have a lot more freedom and more expectations which can be an issue, especially when it comes to attendance.
We want to create a freshmen only game room based on attendance to school.
Our school-wide approach to attendance issues for freshmen utilizes Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). PBIS strategies improve school climate and student behavior by focusing on prevention, teaching, and supporting positive behaviors.
The ultimate goal of implementing PBIS data, systems, and practices is to improve outcomes. Families, students, and educators set goals and work together to achieve them. In PBIS, outcomes might include behavioral, social, emotional, and academic growth; positive school climate; or fewer office discipline referrals.
For us, we want to target positive attendance for freshmen by creating a unique space just for them with an Atari game station and Uno cards. We realized that we have positive incentives for sophomores (parking/ homecoming) and juniors/ seniors (outside lunch tables/ prom/ priority parking) but we did not have any incentives for freshmen. That had to change.
Creating a space just for them, where the criteria is coming to school may be the intervention necessary to support our freshmen students.
More than half of students from low‑income households
