Dan McCarty Middle Rewards Sixth Graders With Supplies Via Eagle Bucks
Fort Pierce school's PBIS program lets students redeem points for pencils, notebooks and epic lunches to combat spring slump and boost focus.
Dan McCarty Middle School's sixth-grade team is using its student incentive program to keep students stocked with supplies and focused on learning as spring break approaches.
The school's Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports program — known at Dan McCarty as Eagle Bucks — rewards sixth graders for demonstrating responsibility, respect, effort and a commitment to learning. Every few weeks, students redeem their accumulated Eagle Bucks at a PBIS supply store stocked with school supplies, epic lunches and other student-selected items purchased through Amazon.
The sixth-grade team timed this month's store deliberately. Students often begin running low on supplies and losing focus as the school year moves toward spring break. The goal was to keep students engaged and ensure they have the tools needed to stay successful through the remainder of the quarter and the school year.
Families with sixth graders at Dan McCarty can learn more about the Eagle Bucks program through the school's LucieLink page at lucielink.stlucie.k12.fl.us.
