Items Needed for Attendance Incentive


Here at TCSS Academy our goal is to ensure that every student attend school regularly to succeed; as we know that when a student misses school too much, it can cause them to fall behind academically. While enrolled at TCSS Academy, students will have the opportunity to earn TCSS Academy Bucks (as an incentive) each day present in the building. If a student has ZERO absences on the last date of placement in the alternative program, then the student will be able to “cash out” bucks for items in our Academy Store.
Items may include: fidgets/sensory items, stress balls, rubik's cube, gel pens, mini games, mini sketch pads and notebooks, colored pencils, markers, water bottles (clear), $10.00 fast food gift cards (Chick Fil-A), mini hand sanitizer, mini puzzles or brain teasers, mini keychains.
