My Students

Our school strives to build an effective environment in which positive behavior is more effective than problem behavior. With a goal to promote positive students and staff behavior, that incorporates empirically validated practices. Every child has capabilities, talents, and strengths; sometimes, all it takes is exposure or motivation. They all inherently care about one another and continually make an effort to improve in all aspects.

The school consists of around 270 amazing students.

A sensory room is a great resource to use in our Positive Behavioral Intervention and Support (PBIS) tiered system.

My Project

A sensory room (sometimes called a "zone room") is a designated area within the school where a student may receive or exclude sensory input and work on self-regulating behavior. We hope to stock our room with items to help students achieve calm, focus on the present, and process sensory information. Swings, trampolines, and hammocks help with balance and movement. Weighted items, such as vests, blankets, or stuffed animals, provide calming pressure. Finger fidgets and alternative types of seating can decrease stress and increase concentration. Timers limit the time a student uses an item or cue a student to change their behavior.
