Project Goal

Our goal is to improve the emotional well-being of the students at Hillsborough High by providing them with a safe, calming space to practice self-regulation strategies. We hope to see a decrease in referrals, improved classroom performance, and an increase in feelings of student safety and connection as measured by our climate survey.

How Project Benefits Students

As soon as our project is funded, we would like to create an inviting, and relaxing space for students to decompress and practice coping strategies to get them through rough patches in their day, and back on track for learning as soon as possible. We plan for the room to be in an accessible, supervised location. We would like to begin this school-wide initiative as soon as possible.
 
Students are unable to focus on learning when they are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, unsafe, or insecure. By having a safe place to decompress and find calm, students will be better prepared to focus on learning. Further, students will be able to learn and practice self-regulation strategies that will serve them in the community as well as home. Coping with day-to-day stressors are key for educational success, getting and keeping a job, and maintaining healthy relationships.

Because this space offers a place to practice Social/Emotional learning skills, it will impact all subject areas.  

 

Expected Outcome(s)

-Decrease in discipline referrals
-Increase in class time/student attendance
-Improved grades
-Increase in students feelings of safety and connections to school as measured by climate survey
-Increase in students' knowledge and use of self-regulation strategies
