My Project
We are creating a calming station near the principal’s office. A designated space where students can step away from the classroom when they are feeling overwhelmed, upset, or dysregulated. This space will be equipped with calming tools such as sensory items, new carpet, comfortable seating, soft lighting, noise-reducing headphones, mindfulness books, and visuals to help students regulate their emotions.
The goal is to offer a quiet, non-punitive space where students can de-escalate and return to learning with dignity.
This area will be used in collaboration with our school counselors, administration, and classroom teachers to support positive behavioral interventions and social-emotional learning.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
