September Curriculum Corner
Counselor's Corner
Mrs. Andes, our school counselor, meets with each class every other week for a counseling lesson. These lessons focus on pro-social behaviors and conflict resolution skills. Third, Fourth and Fifth grades had counseling lessons this week. They all learned about empathy and respect. Below are links to the family exercises you can do with your student to help solidify their learning and expand on what we learned in class.

Watch D.O.G.S. at Tiffany Ridge
WATCH D.O.G.S. (Dads Of Great Students) is a family and community engagement educational initiative program that we have at Tiffany Ridge! Even though the program emphasizes Dads getting involved at school, ALL parents can be Watch DOGS, so Moms are welcome to sign up too!
The goals of the program are to provide positive role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence that education is important and to provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security and reduce bullying. WatchDOGS volunteer for at least one day each year at an official WATCH D.O.G.S. school.
To learn more about WatchDOGS, join us on September 20th from 7:30-8:30am for "Donuts with Dudes" and enjoy a donut with your student! You can sign up now at the link below to select a day to be a Watch DOG or at Donuts with Dudes! This link will be open throughout the school year as well. Brian Moran is our Tiffany Ridge "Top Dog" for this school year.
During the school day, WatchDOGS may read and work on flash cards with students, play at recess, eat lunch with students, patrol the school entrances and hallways, assist with traffic flow and any other assigned activities where they actively engage with not only their own students, but other students as well.
