They significantly reduce noise between rooms, which enhances focus and concentration for both students and teachers. This is especially beneficial for small group instruction or special education settings where a quieter environment is essential. Privacy doors also support better classroom management by minimizing visual distractions and allowing teachers to tailor instruction without interference from neighboring activities. Additionally, they provide the flexibility to open up spaces for collaborative learning or close them off for more individualized instruction. In terms of safety, privacy doors can act as barriers during emergency situations, contributing to a more secure learning environment.","fullyFundedDate":1746785728922,"projectUrl":"project/privacy-doors-for-academic-success/9061058/","projectTitle":"Privacy Doors for Academic Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nicolosi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6968904_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y504&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659297985301","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6968904"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_4934","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":366,"numTeachers":17,"percentFrplEligible":24,"percentAsian":19,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":36,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":33,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"21.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":85.9,"schoolId":4934,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Reed Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Reed Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/san-jose-unified-school-district/reed-elementary-school/4934"}
