From the Principal
Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year! We have had a great first three days. It has been wonderful to have our students back in the building. This week, teachers have focused on classroom routines/expectations and "Getting to Know You" activities. Our students have also learned about information about guidelines in common areas of the building such as: the cafeteria, playground, hallways, and restrooms. I met with each class so that they could learn about their Pioneer Pride chart. It is a school-wide system that students can earn hole punches in a card when they are making positive behavior choices. Students can earn prizes for their hole punches.
In the newsletter this week, there is information about some beginning of the school year information. Have a great weekend!

Positive Parenting Program (Triple P)
Raising children isn’t always easy. Would you like to feel less stressed and feel confident that you are raising happy, confident kids?
The Positive Parenting Program (Triple P) is designed to help parents set their own goals, become confident in their ability to manage parenting issues, and become self-sufficient problem solvers. This program is for parents and caregivers of children 0 to 12 years old and helps parents manage behavior and address problem behaviors. Perhaps it’s your toddler’s supermarket meltdowns… or nightly bedtime battles with your daughter… or your son’s disobedience or aggression. We give tips on how to settle the problem – quickly and calmly!
We won’t tell you how to parent. But we will give you simple, practical strategies you can adapt to suit your family’s values, beliefs and needs. Because we know happier families lead to better relationships… and successful kids! Sign up for small group discussions or one-on-one parenting support by phone on a wide variety of topics for parents and caregivers of young children, including:
- Dealing with Disobedience
Get tips on how to get kids to listen and follow directions—and what to do when they don’t. - Hassle-Free Shopping with Children
See how to plan for easy, calm trips out in public and how to deal when kids act up. - Managing Fighting and Anger
Learn strategies for teaching kids to solve problems and get along with others. - Developing Good Bedtime Routines
Get advice on getting your kid to go to bed—and staying there.
Triple P is currently available in Madison, Marion, Pickaway, and Union counties. To sign up, email TripleP@actionforchildren.org or call 614-585-9725. Learn more about Triple P and register for upcoming classes.
