What once felt overwhelming and difficult to coordinate has become much more organized, efficient, and manageable thanks to the generosity of our donors.\r\n\r\nHaving access to digital calendars, organizational tools, and effective communication resources has truly transformed the way we work together. Teachers no longer have to send repeated emails to share information or request updates, saving valuable time that can now be spent focusing on students and their individual needs.\r\n\r\nParents responded that they enjoyed all the positive feedback in relating to teacher emails, phone calls, and in-person conversations. Instead of always hearing negative information, they got emails that gave them wonderful information about their children! A few reported that it was the FIRST phone call or email they had ever received because their child had done something positive or behaved well in class. Attached is a snippet of the email responses! One of the most rewarding outcomes has been the positive response from our parents and guardians. Through consistent, daily feedback, families have been able to see their children's progress firsthand. This has encouraged parents, strengthened communication between home and school, and allowed us to celebrate even the smallest victories together.\r\n\r\nFor students with special needs, consistency, communication, and teamwork are incredibly important. These tools have helped us create a more connected and supportive environment where everyone involved in a student's education can stay informed and work toward the same goals.\r\n\r\n**What began as an effort to calm the chaos has become an opportunity to build stronger relationships, celebrate student growth, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students.**\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and giving us the tools to better support their success. Your generosity has made a lasting impact, and we are truly grateful!","fullyFundedDate":1785185076779,"projectUrl":"project/calm-the-caseload-chaos/10383939/","projectTitle":"Calm the Caseload Chaos","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Domingue","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9613024_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y409&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745332355459","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9613024"},{"teacherId":9613024,"projectId":10648665,"letterContent":"Your generosity has made a difference in my classroom that goes far beyond the items you helped provide. What began as a project to offer comfort, basic necessities, and encouragement has become an incredible opportunity to build confidence, strengthen relationships, and help students rediscover the pride that comes with success.\r\n\r\nSince implementing our incentive program, students have completed 37% more coursework compared to a typical workweek before the incentives were introduced! This increase has been remarkable, particularly for students who have struggled with motivation, attendance, and academic confidence. I distributed the incentives strategically to recognize effort, progress, and achievement rather than simply rewarding students for showing up.\r\n\r\nTo build on that excitement, I created personalized award certificates and began displaying student accomplishments around our classroom. Something wonderful happened. Students who once would have been embarrassed to receive recognition, worried that their peers might think they were trying too hard or being the \"teacher's pet,\" began asking, \"What do I have to do to get my name up there?\"\r\n\r\nThat question alone speaks volumes.\r\n\r\nWe are seeing students become more alert, happier, more engaged, and increasingly willing to step outside their comfort zones. Students who once avoided challenging assignments are beginning to take chances, put forth genuine effort, and celebrate their accomplishments. Academic success is slowly becoming something they want to be recognized for rather than something they feel they need to hide.\r\n\r\nEqually important has been the impact of providing hygiene products and other basic necessities. Knowing they can come to me discreetly for something they need has opened doors to conversations and relationships that might never have developed otherwise. These simple acts of kindness have allowed me to better understand the challenges my students face outside the classroom and identify ways to support them moving forward. For some students, having a trusted adult who notices their needs and responds without judgment is just as important as any academic lesson.\r\n\r\nMany of my students face circumstances that make simply getting to school and staying focused an accomplishment in itself. Your donations have allowed me to create an environment where students feel seen, supported, encouraged, and celebrated.\r\n\r\nYou didn't just provide incentives and essentials. You helped change the culture of our classroom. You helped make effort something worth celebrating, success something worth sharing, and school a place where students feel a greater sense of belonging.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for investing in students who have so much potential and sometimes just need someone to remind them of it. The progress we are seeing is real, and your generosity helped make it possible.\r\n\r\nWith sincere gratitude,\r\n\r\nHeather Domingue\r\nRosenwald School","fullyFundedDate":1789575093398,"projectUrl":"project/warmth-wellness-and-a-way-forward/10648665/","projectTitle":"“Warmth, Wellness, and a Way Forward”","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Domingue","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9613024_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y409&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745332355459","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9613024"},{"teacherId":9819017,"projectId":10563890,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my ESE students and our classroom!

The books give me resources I can continue coming back to throughout the school year as I work on writing stronger IEPs and finding better ways to support each student's individual needs. I'm using what I learn to improve the way I write goals, use student data, plan accommodations, support transition skills, and collaborate with other teachers and families. I love having resources I can turn to when I'm working through a challenging situation or simply want to make sure I'm doing the best I can for my students.\r\n\r\nThe laptop screen extender has probably made the biggest difference in my everyday productivity. I spend a lot of time working with IEPs, student data, teacher input, progress monitoring, and other documents. Being able to have multiple things open and visible at the same time has made that process so much easier! Instead of constantly switching back and forth between tabs, I can have everything I need right in front of me. This has been especially helpful when preparing for IEP meetings, annual reviews, transition meetings, and documenting student progress.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite parts of being a special education teacher is watching students realize that they are capable of more than they thought they were. A big part of my job happens behind the scenes—reviewing data, talking with teachers, writing IEPs, planning accommodations, and figuring out what supports will help a student be successful. But seeing those plans actually make a difference for a student is what makes all of that work worth it. Whether it is a student becoming more confident, advocating for what they need, completing something they once struggled with, or simply having a really good day at school, those little moments are the ones I celebrate. They remind me why I do what I do.\r\n\r\nI'm especially excited to continue growing in the areas of transition planning and self-advocacy. I want my students to understand that their IEP is not just a document adults write about them—it should help them understand themselves, recognize their strengths, and learn how to speak up for what they need. I'm also looking forward to continuing to improve how I use data to guide my instruction and support. Every student is different, and I want to make sure I'm looking at the whole student rather than simply looking at a grade or a test score.\r\n\r\nI am so thankful to everyone who contributed to this project. Your support has given me tools that I can use every day to become a better teacher and, most importantly, better support the students who walk through my classroom door.

Clarity builds confidence. Confidence creates success.\" This year,AND WE ARE VERY EARLY INTO THE YEAR-I have had the opportunity to see those words become reality for my students.\r\n\r\nThe color printer and supplies provided through this project have become valuable tools in a much larger effort to help our ESE students become more successful, organized, and involved in their own education. We have implemented data chats, individual goal setting, progress monitoring, conversations about behavior and academic choices, and a greater focus on teaching students to understand and advocate for their own IEP accommodations.\r\n\r\nThe results have been remarkable. As part of these combined efforts, our student referrals have decreased by more than 75% so far this year.\r\n\r\nThe color printer has helped us turn information that can be confusing or overwhelming into something students can actually use. Students can receive color-coded schedules that make their day easier to follow. They can have their accommodations clearly identified and in front of them, rather than simply being told what their IEP says. This has opened the door for conversations about what accommodations mean, when to use them, and how students can appropriately advocate for the support they need.\r\n\r\nColor printouts have also made our data chats and goal-setting activities more meaningful. Students can SEE their progress, identify areas that need improvement, and recognize their successes. For students who often struggle with organization, focus, reading comprehension, or executive functioning, that visual clarity matters.\r\n\r\nThe printer did not create these changes by itself—but it gave us a powerful tool to support the work we are doing every day. It has helped us make expectations clearer, progress more visible, accommodations more understandable, and goals more personal.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, our students are beginning to see themselves differently. Instead of simply being recipients of ESE services, they are learning to understand their needs, monitor their progress, advocate for themselves, and take greater ownership of their success.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us put the right tools into our students' hands. Your support has become part of something much bigger than colorful paper. It is helping us create students who are more informed, more confident, and better equipped to stay on track and move forward.\r\n\r\nColor created clarity—and our students are showing us what they can do with it.","fullyFundedDate":1779067334606,"projectUrl":"project/color-their-world-for-a-brighter-future/10292639/","projectTitle":"Color Their World for a Brighter Future","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Domingue","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9613024_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y409&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745332355459","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9613024"},{"teacherId":10264428,"projectId":10000566,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of a Microsoft Pro tablet through DonorsChoose!

Since so much of their coursework is completed online, having a charged Chromebook is essential. Before having these chargers available, a student forgetting to charge their device could mean losing valuable learning time or having to stop and figure out another way to complete their work.\r\n\r\nNow, students can plug in, get powered up, and keep moving. It means less frustration, fewer interruptions, and more time focused on their coursework.\r\n\r\nHonestly, I think my students are most excited about having one less thing standing between them and getting their work done. Our Success Program students are working hard to catch up, get ahead, graduate, or prepare for whatever comes next—whether that is entering the workforce or going to trade school.\r\n\r\nHaving the technology they rely on ready to go helps them feel more independent and prepared. It may not seem exciting in the traditional sense, but for students who are already juggling a lot, removing one small obstacle can make a huge difference.\r\n\r\nI've seen students who once felt like they were too far behind begin to realize that they really can make progress. Some of these students have struggled academically or have been at risk of dropping out, and watching them complete assignments, earn credits, and move closer to graduation has been incredibly rewarding.\r\n\r\nThe chargers are just one small piece of the bigger picture, but they help create a classroom where students can come in, get what they need, and get to work.
