Davis Joint Unified School District serves a student population shaped by the university community — academically ambitious families with high expectations for student support services. Counselors at Davis Senior High School, Da Vinci Charter Academy, and the district's elementary and middle schools manage caseloads heavy on academic anxiety, perfectionism, and the social pressure that comes with growing up in a high-achieving college town. DJUSD has invested in mental health programming including wellness centers and expanded counseling staff, but individual session time remains limited.
Fidget Tools for Academic Anxiety
Beast Putty addresses the specific anxiety profile of Davis students: the quiet, contained sensory tool that doesn't signal struggle in classrooms full of high achievers. Students can squeeze putty during an AP exam review without drawing attention from peers. Counselors stock it in wellness center drop-in spaces where students decompress between demanding courses. In a district where students are acutely aware of social perception, the putty's unremarkable appearance is a feature — it looks like nothing, works like a regulation tool, and travels between classes without triggering teacher intervention or peer scrutiny.
University-Town Wellness Culture
Davis students grow up surrounded by researchers studying the very topics their counselors address — anxiety, sensory processing, attention, and regulation. DJUSD parents are more likely to ask about the evidence base behind a counselor's tools than parents in most districts. Beast Putty satisfies this scrutiny: proprioceptive input as a self-regulation mechanism is well-supported in the occupational therapy and sensory integration literature. When a counselor at Davis Senior High sends putty home with a student, the parent reads the recommendation through a research lens — and the tool holds up to that examination.
