Kalmiopsis Elementary outlines "Reset and Regulate" program; staff report hundreds of monthly visits
Summary
Kalmiopsis Elementary staff described the "Reset and Regulate" program as a voluntary support space for students to manage emotions and return to class; staff reported monthly visits of 256 (Sept.), 486 (Oct.), 271 (Nov.), and 287 (Dec. to date).
Principal Carol Leonard and staff members Sarah Sackett and Cynthia Solerzano described the "Reset and Regulate" (R&R) program at Kalmiopsis Elementary during the Dec. 18 board meeting. The program provides a choice-driven environment where students check in with an R&R counselor, select activities (fine motor tasks, arts and crafts, "chill space"), set a timer, and check out with a pass to return to class. Staff emphasized the program is intended for emotional regulation and support, not as a punishment or daycare.
Staff reported monthly usage figures to illustrate demand: September 256 visits; October 486 visits; November 271 visits; December (to date) 287 visits. Board members praised the initiative for aligning with district goals around student mental health and helping students return to learning-ready states.
