In a post-pandemic society, students are learning to succeed in school while managing difficult emotions. Since returning to in-person learning, school counselors have been working closely with students to develop effective coping skills and institute a robust Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program. We aim to create a safe space with various sensory items to assist students in developing their emotional regulation, addressing the high need identified by recent NJ-SCI and Panorama data. This project will support all students at FHS, including those in Special Education and ESL programs, by providing tools to help them focus and calm down during the school day.
With the awarded funding, we will purchase sensory items for this safe space, benefiting the entire student population of 2,092 students at FHS. All school counselors and SACs will be involved in designing and implementing the project. We will evaluate the project's effectiveness by tracking student usage, gathering feedback from teachers and students, and analyzing behavioral data. The timeline includes setting up the sensory items and developing feedback surveys within four weeks of receiving them. This initiative will enhance our SEL program and help students manage their mental health effectively.
