McCortney, M / Cool Down Zone

Roberto Clemente School # 8's Cool Down Zone

The purpose of the COOL DOWN ZONE is to provide students with a non-punitive, safe space to calm down following a stressful event, hopefully allowing them to regroup and return to class without a disciplinary action. The Cool Down Zone operates with four primary learning targets for students:
