EOC Incentives

South-Doyle students are getting a little something extra for EOCs this year. In an effort to raise the overall grades, incentives were offered to students. Students who stay after school are given pizza and snacks. Every morning gift cards are given to successful students. iPads will be given to top four students who show the most growth.  For Freshman Fun Day, tickets can be earned by getting advanced on Study Island sessions and various other academic means. These tickets will be used to get snacks participate in events. A game truck will be there, letting kids take turns competing against their friends in racing games and Call of Duty. The impact on students has been noticeable. Effort and attention to detail when studying online has led to an overall increase in the students projected grades. Having something to work towards can really motivate people to do the best they can. Behavior problems have also been reduced. Kids who didn’t think they had a chance saw the incentives as a way to get back on track. With the success of the EOC incentives, there is a strong chance the program will be repeated next year.
