High School can be tough. There is so much up in the air and we are all trying to keep our heads above water. The staff at West Perry High School want you to know that your feelings are valid, warranted, and normal.
Don't forget to take some deep breaths and focus on a positive (any positive, even just getting out of bed or completing an assignment for history class). We want you to feel comfortable reaching out to us for support, and even when you don't want to talk, we understand the importance of providing resources and options to help you remain calm and cope.
The Virtual Calming Room is a safe space for anyone who is feeling overwhelmed: students, families, even staff. Here, you will find many ways to cope with the stresses of everyday life, even calming resources that you may not have known about. It is our hope that you will find a strategy that suits you when you are feeling confused, angry, alone, afraid, or any number of emotions (even some at the same time).
We are always here for you! If we cannot help, we will always direct you to someone who can.
