AMS Wellness Center
The Rincon Room 

Welcome to the Rincon Room! Here at AMS, our goal is for students to be successful - not only academically, but also socially and emotionally. In order for our school climate to remain a secure space, we prioritize the social and emotional needs of our students and give mental health the attention it deserves and needs. We want to ensure that students are thriving as a whole and make certain that all 6th, 7th, and 8th graders are feeling comfortable and understood. Our wellness space provides students with a calm, comforting, relaxing environment where they are able to recharge and reset, without judgement. 

Ms. Zide, our wellness counselor, is able to hone in on her abilities to teach students effective coping strategies, that will allow students to move through the emotions they are feeling. The Rincon Room provides students a safe space to deescalate and regulate. It is imperative that students can access a space where they feel reassured and have adults they can trust. All of this falls under the mental health and wellness umbrella and it encourages our Islanders to build confidence, resilience, and enhance their emotional well-being.
