My Students

As the premier Alternative School in DCPS, our High School exists to serve the unique academic, physical, social and emotional needs of students who are in a critical period of their lives as they change from adolescence to adulthood. All aspects of the school are to prepare our students for success in college and to be thoughtful, contributing members of society.

Regular school attendance is critical to accessing the resources and dedicated staff in place to help every student reach their fullest potential.

Unfortunately, many of our most neediest students are truant. They need innovative support and incentives to help them stay motivated and overcome barriers to getting to school and staying in school for the full day.

My Project

Help me provide students with an incentive to stay until the last bell rings! With less than 30% of students staying for the last period of the day, RSTAY is in need of incentives to keep students in school through the last period of the day. With the smell of yummy popcorn filling the air, all students who stay through the last period of the day, 8th period, will receive freshly made popcorn at least twice a month. The popcorn incentive will be combined/rotated with other 8th period incentives like sundae bars, hot cocoa and more! No more cutting class for an early start to after school fun, students will be inclined to stay through 8th so they can partake in freshly made treats.
