Any recommendations for how to take pressure off?

So my second grader w autism and PDA is having a lot of anxiety and demand avoidance about going to school. The first week was a disaster with a lot of aggression and disregulation after school. One day was flat out refusal and she was over an hour late.
She’s not sure what about it makes her not want to go but I have a feeling it’s just all day masking is overwhelming and exhausting and she gets home and just unleashes. While we explore additional medications I want to find a way to relieve some of that pressure she’s feeling at school.

Any suggestions? We only got one from the school counselor which was she can have lunch in her office one day - so I want to offer that to see if it helps but want to come up w other ideas and present them to my child and the school.

Thanks!
