High school can be stressful! Learning healthy, adaptive ways to regulate stress and strong emotions is a crucial component of social and emotional learning. The function of a De-Stress Zone is to provide students with access to a stress-free area at school where they can calm down, refocus, and return to class. The De-Stress Zone will be located in a designated area of our high school and will be available to students throughout the school day. In the De-Stress Zone, students will be able to relax in a large bean bag chair, express their emotions through Magnetic Poetry or drawing, work on a design at the puzzle table, and/or release pent-up energy using an exercise ball or Kinetic Sand. Through the De-Stress Zone, students will learn healthy and safe ways to calm themselves. Students will also realize that we want them to be here in school, even when having a rough day! Too often, students shut down or act out when feeling upset, agitated, or anxious. If not addressed, these students end up wandering the halls, leaving school, or becoming disruptive. Either way, they are not actively participating in school and are not learning. The goal of the De-Stress Zone is to provide students with some tools to help them work through their feelings and return to class ready to learn.
