Goal

This project will support student achievement by providing ESE high school students with essential supplies needed to access instruction, complete assignments, and improve academic performance. Students with disabilities may experience challenges with organization, task completion, and independent learning. Providing binders, notebooks, tab dividers, paper, calculators, index cards, folders, headphones, and pencils will help reduce barriers to learning and allow students to focus on building academic skills and mastering grade-level content.

The primary objectives of this project are to improve assignment completion, strengthen organizational and executive functioning skills, increase student engagement, and support learning gains and proficiency in core academic subjects. Students will use these supplies daily to organize class materials, take notes, practice academic skills, complete assignments, and prepare for assessments. Improved organization and consistent access to materials will help students become more independent learners and make progress toward their individual educational goals.

Student achievement will be monitored through quarterly grade checks, assignment completion rates, classroom assessment data, and progress toward IEP goals. Baseline data collected during the fall semester will be compared with student performance throughout the 2026–2027 school year to identify growth in academic achievement, participation, and independence.

This project aligns with School Improvement Plan (SIP) priorities focused on increasing student achievement, improving academic proficiency, and supporting the academic needs of students with disabilities. By providing the tools students need to participate successfully in the classroom, this project will promote equitable access to learning, encourage academic growth, and help ESE students build the skills necessary for graduation and success beyond high school. 

What will be done with my students

Project activities will focus on providing ESE high school students with essential school supplies to support academic achievement, organization, and independence. These supplies will help students organize class materials, take notes, complete assignments, practice math skills, study for assessments, and participate in classroom activities. Headphones will support students during independent work and technology-based assignments, while calculators and graph paper will provide additional support with math concepts and problem-solving. Having these materials readily available will reduce barriers to learning and help students focus on instruction rather than worrying about obtaining necessary supplies.

Project Timeline:

Fall 2026: Purchase and organize supplies, identify student needs, and distribute materials to students. Introduce organizational strategies for using binders, tab dividers, folders, and notebooks to keep assignments and class materials organized.

Winter 2026: Incorporate supplies into daily instruction and academic support sessions. Use calculators, graph paper, index cards, and notebooks to reinforce academic skills, review content, prepare for assessments, and support assignment completion. Monitor student grades, engagement, and organization.

Spring 2027: Continue using the supplies to support classroom participation, independent work, and progress toward individual academic goals. Review student performance and identify improvements in assignment completion, organization, and academic achievement.

End of the 2026–2027 School Year: Evaluate the project's impact by reviewing student grades, assignment completion rates, classroom assessment results, and progress toward IEP goals. Use these findings to determine how access to essential supplies supported student learning and identify ways to continue meeting students' academic needs.

The project will provide ongoing opportunities to monitor student growth throughout the 2026–2027 school year. By ensuring that ESE students have access to the materials needed for daily learning, this project will support increased engagement, improved organization, stronger academic performance, and greater independence as students work toward graduation and future success. 

Benefits to my Students

ESE students in the high school setting often face challenges with organization, assignment completion, independent work, and accessing grade-level curriculum. A lack of essential school supplies can create additional barriers to learning and make it more difficult for students to stay organized, complete assignments, and demonstrate their knowledge. Providing students with binders, composition notebooks, tab dividers, notebook and graph paper, calculators, index cards, three-prong folders, headphones, and pencils will help ensure they have the necessary tools to participate in instruction and work toward academic success.

The goal of this project is to improve student achievement by increasing organization, engagement, assignment completion, and independence among ESE students during the 2026–2027 school year. Binders, folders, and tab dividers will help students organize assignments and classroom materials, while notebooks and paper will support note-taking and daily practice. Calculators and graph paper will provide support with mathematical concepts, and index cards will be used for reviewing vocabulary, practicing skills, and preparing for assessments. Headphones will support independent work and technology-based learning activities. Access to these supplies will reduce barriers to learning and allow students to focus more fully on instruction and demonstrate their knowledge.


The project's effectiveness will be measured using student data collected throughout the 2026–2027 school year. Baseline data will be reviewed during the fall to identify student needs and establish starting points for academic performance, organization, and assignment completion. Progress will be monitored through quarterly grade checks, assignment completion rates, classroom assessment results, and progress toward individual IEP goals. Teachers will also observe students' ability to maintain organized materials, participate in classroom activities, and complete assignments more independently.

At the end of the school year, student performance will be compared with baseline data to evaluate growth in academic achievement, assignment completion, and organizational skills. The results will help determine whether access to essential school supplies contributed to improved student engagement, learning gains, and progress toward academic goals. The overall goal is to provide students with the resources they need to improve proficiency, build independence, and make meaningful progress toward high school graduation and future success. 

Budget Narrative

The supplies requested for this project include binders, composition notebooks, tab dividers, notebook paper, graph paper, calculators, index cards, three-prong folders, headphones, and pencils. These essential materials will provide ESE high school students with the tools they need to stay organized, participate in classroom instruction, complete assignments, and improve academic performance.

Binders, tab dividers, and three-prong folders will help students organize class notes, assignments, and study materials. Composition notebooks and notebook paper will support note-taking, written assignments, and daily practice, while graph paper and calculators will assist students with mathematical concepts and problem-solving. Index cards will provide opportunities for vocabulary practice, review activities, and test preparation. Headphones will support independent work and technology-based learning activities, and pencils will ensure students have the basic supplies needed to complete daily classroom tasks.

These supplies directly support the project goal of improving student achievement, increasing assignment completion, strengthening organizational skills, and promoting greater independence among ESE students. By providing consistent access to essential learning materials, the project will reduce barriers to learning and allow students to focus on instruction and demonstrate their knowledge. The impact will be evaluated throughout the 2026–2027 school year using student grades, assignment completion rates, classroom assessment results, and progress toward individual IEP goals.
