Maple Park shares strategies for launching a schoolwide PBIS initiative over the course of one school year.
Dr. Allegri and her school’s PBIS team chose a tiered roll-out for their LiveSchool program, launching a quarter-long trial in one classroom. That teacher collected data from LiveSchool and feedback from the students to support a grant application for going school-wide.
Maple Park received the grant from their district and adopted LiveSchool in all classes shortly after. Dr. Allegri credits her school’s successful roll-out to significant teacher involvement and consistent administrative follow up.
LiveSchool provides teachers with easy-to-use tools that support their classroom culture goals.

“To change the behavior of someone…that person must be involved in the process. A child is always more likely to implement a solution that they helped create.”
Maple Park educators teach monthly PBIS lessons that highlight one overarching skill. Skills like focusing on behaviors like getting to class on time, preparedness, and more. Those initiatives were simply too much for paper-based behavior management solutions.
They use LiveSchool to reinforce these initiatives and incorporate it into other daily routines.
LiveSchool’s streamlined points system fits seamlessly into lesson plans and has the flexibility to support schools’ existing behavior initiatives.
Maple Park’s rubric focuses on the Big Three Rs: Ready, Respectful, and Responsible. Within this rubric, the school identifies five main spaces in which students can be rewarded for their behavior: the hallway, cafe, classroom, restroom, and getting on and off the bus.
LiveSchool’s customizable rubric gives teachers a consistent framework for recognizing and rewarding their students’ successes throughout the school day.
Heritage Middle School is located in Liberty, Missouri. They are a 1 to 1 technology school that utilizes the PBIS model to manage and improve student behavior. The school is centered around four principles:
HMS serves 807 students with a population of
Prior to LiveSchool, Maple Park used a paper voucher point/reward system, but the staff found it to be an unreliable way to reinforce positive school culture; students would lose and borrow tickets, making the points hard to track. Educators and students at Maple Park have iPads – with LiveSchool, teachers easily distribute points via their tablets and students can see their points balance increase in real time. The staff records demerits internally, but does not subtract points from students’ balances.
LiveSchool’s sophisticated tracking system gives students immediate feedback on their successes.
Maple Park’s LiveSchool rewards system features a wide variety of prizes and events, and is designed to build budgeting skills. Students can use their points right away or save for the quarterly Viking Auction. LiveSchool's rewards and data features powers all of their reward systems.
“Our school Reward Store, the Viking Vault, is open once a week. We've setup a system where students can order online via a survey tool, and the items are delivered to them by the student council.”
“Some teachers will offer rewards that can be redeemed specifically in their classroom. They have menus of items they feel comfortable offering through LiveSchool: ten free minutes on the ipad, a new set of headphones.”
“Maple Park hosts Friday Night Live, our school dance, for two hours on a Friday once a quarter. Students can either pay cash or redeem LiveSchool points to attend.”
“We are very proud of our Viking auction, which we do once a quarter as well – last time we had over 150 items total, 75 for each grade. The items are chosen based on feedback from the kids and can be anything from a pair of Champion socks to Bluetooth headphones to a huge candy bar the size of their body! Our last auction saw over 500,000 points debited from LiveSchool, so it was a huge success.”
Maple Park’s educators meet every month to discuss LiveSchool data, which they use to inform their monthly PBIS lesson plans and determine where administrators may need to provide LiveSchool support for teachers.
LiveSchool's Insights tools help school staff spot trends by time, location, student, teacher, and more.
Maple Park has observed a highly increased sense of responsibility among its students, particularly when it comes to preparedness for class and building safety.
Dr. Reagan Allegri is finishing up her 17th year in education, where she currently serves as the PROUD Principal of Heritage Middle School in Liberty Public Schools. Prior to her move to Liberty, she was an Assistant Principal, 6th Grade Social Studies teacher, and a 2nd grade teacher all in the North Kansas City School District. Dr. Allegri is passionate about student behaviors and doing whatever she and her team can to create an environment where students feel safe to learn and grow. She firmly believes that our human behaviors are always forms of communication and that we should always ask what students are trying to tell us. That is why PBIS is such an important part of her behavior management system and a part of the culture of HMS. Her Tier 2 and 3 PBIS teams are stellar at driving this work and continuously looking for ways to improve. LivesSchool is just one great avenue to help support us in that work!
