Students who had recorded positive behavior throughout the week attended a celebration with food,music, and activities. A seventh and sixth grader were excited to see new footballs, they promptly started throwing it back and forth down the sideline of the gym. High schoolers invited a sixth and seventh grader to pass a soccer ball back and forth dribbling it and passing headers. A few of the staff joined in to use the new equipment, our social worker and an EC teacher taught a student how to jump double dutch. Our weekly celebrations allow students and staff the opportunity to improve their social skills and develop positive relationships.\r\n\r\nNext up in our Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) we are improving our data collection and analysis process to better understand which interventions are most impactful. We are also looking for support for our positive reinforcement rewards. We use a \"Caught Being Good\" program where staff can present tickets to students and students can redeem the tickets for snacks or extra points. Students earn these tickets when they go out of their way to help others and embody our values. \r\n\r\nOur PBIS program has helped our students to grow and our approach to behavior management evolve. The PBIS program is made possible through your support.","fullyFundedDate":1728398696659,"projectUrl":"project/sports-equipment-for-positive-behavior-c/8858436/","projectTitle":"Sports Equipment for Positive Behavior Celebrations","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Smith","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9793448"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1447","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":64,"numTeachers":19,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":75,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"3.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":68.6,"schoolId":1447,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lakeview School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lakeview School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/durham-public-schools/lakeview-school/1447"}
