Daily Reward Time (DRT) and Fun Friday
At the end of each school day, students are rewarded for their positive choices. They choose from a selection of activities, such as Arts & Crafts and Gaming. If students need assistance with making better decisions, they attend Focus Group that focuses on social skills.
Animal Therapy and Library

The Harrell Learning Center offers animal therapy. We have several species of birds.. These animals are utilized for animal therapy as well as being a option for Fun Friday activities. Our library is always available for our students who love to read!
Hurricane Exchange

The Hurricane Exchange is where you will find the latest styles. We offer jewelry, clothing, and knick-knacks for sell. Our students use their hard-earned Hurricane Bucks to make these purchases. Not only do they purchase for themselves, but also for family and friends. Big holiday coming up? Don't sweat it! We have that special present for your loved one! Student workers can also be found hard at work in here.
Our Hurricane Exchange was lovingly redecorated and provided with a beautiful countertop by community members

The Hurricane Cafe Cart is available daily at Reward Lunch and DRT. It offers selected sweets and drinks for sale. On Fridays, the Cafe may offer specials such as REAL hot dogs and other homemade dinners. As always, these treats can be purchased with Hurricane Bucks. For individuals other than students, the treats can be purchased with USD. And yes, teachers have been known to sneak in there to buy some lunchtime treats!
Sensory Room

The Sensory Room is available to students in crisis. In here, you will find a punching bag, fidget tools, pillows, and other sensory items. This room allows students to relax if they are feeling overwhelmed or anxious. Students are closely monitored by staff while in this area.
