My Project

Our students are like family! They happily come to school and are excited about learning. We strive to give our students what they need to be successful learners! We noticed some of our students need sensory input to self-regulate their emotions.

We want the school as well as our outdoor spaces to be inviting and supportive for all.

We want to design a special space for meeting sensory needs and emotional needs. We want to provide these tools for our students. All students will have access to the hanging chair, activity walls, and activity mat. After using these special tools our students will be calm and ready to continue learning.
