It has been 17 to 18 months of disabled cameras and muted mics since our students were in the physical school setting. Throughout the school day our students are now being asked to remain engaged with academics and each other after more than a year of being separated. This stark contrast of distance learning versus in-person has brought about wondrous moments, but also has acted as a stressor for others. With our students' growing mental health needs we are hoping to increase our supply of social-emotional tools/spaces, stress reduction tools, coping activities, and other means to aid our students return. Now more than ever, many students are struggling with feelings of anxiety, stress, grief, frustration, exhaustion, and much more. In response, our staff is seeking multiple access points to offer different styles of emotional regulation to our students. The materials requested will bolster our students' ability to process, regulate, and understand the difficult emotions that arise from educational and personal situations. Our plan for the kinetic sand, color pencils, stress balls, and sequin pillows will be divided into kits for teachers and counselors to place in classrooms and counseling offices. The kits will allow students to access tools to aid in emotional regulation and to minimize students missing academic instruction. Folders are destined for advisory rooms so that students can easily compile their work. Ultimately, we hope to create responsive systems of support that work to meet our students' immediate and long-term needs.
