Mental Health and Wellness - Whole Child Approach

District Mental Health Resources


The Wellness Room at Cypress High School is a dedicated space designed to support the mental, emotional, and social well-being of every student. Located on campus, the room provides a calm, welcoming environment where students can take a brief break from the demands of the school day, practice healthy coping strategies, and reconnect with the resources they need to succeed. Whether a student is feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, or simply needs a quiet moment to reset, the Wellness Room offers a safe place to pause and return to class ready to learn.

Staffed by the school's counseling team and mental health professionals in partnership with Waymakers, the Wellness Room reflects Cypress High School's commitment to creating a supportive and inclusive campus community. Students can access a variety of wellness tools and activities, including mindfulness exercises, coloring, puzzles, sensory items, aromatherapy, and other calming techniques that encourage self-regulation and resilience. By promoting mental wellness alongside academic achievement, the Wellness Room empowers students to care for their emotional health while fostering a culture where seeking support is encouraged and valued.

Cypress High School uses the StopIt! App that parents, students, families, staff, and the community can use to anonymously report incidents to the school. Reporting is anonymous.
 
StopIt! is best utilized by being a great observer. Who, what, when, where, why, and how are excellent questions to answer when writing a report, along with pictures and videos when available.

MTSS provides the foundation to allow every student to have an opportunity to succeed. At Cypress High School, MTSS is critical to ensure that the school site is supporting the needs to each individual learner.
 
MTSS
As part of the MTSS framework, we offer a wide array of support and resources that meet different tiers of learners. To learn more about the programs that we offer, please feel free to explore each tab on the website!
 
 

To support student behavior, we offer incentive programs and rewards through Minga and Centurions of the Month to celebrate students! Students may be recognized for exemplifying the Centurion Code of Conduct, the 5 C's (collaboration, communication, critical thinking, creativity, and character), or celebrated through a staff referral.
 
Each month, a winner for the Centurion of the Month is selected and appear on Cypress TV, where their nomination is read out loud! We are proud of our students and look forward to seeing each student celebrated.
 
Our staff also meet monthly through a PBIS/MTSS committee with counselors, social workers, teachers, administrators, and discuss ways to encourage and incentivize students!
