Calm Corner

Tier 1 Practice

One of the strategies of helping a child in an escalated state is a calming break. We have committed to having Calm Corners in each class and common area as a Tier 1 school-wide practice. Calm Corners provide a safe, predictable space to de-escalate, while remaining in the classroom. Please note the pinwheel has been removed due to Covid related safety protocols.
