It has been another busy week at Monroe Elementary. On Monday, you will be receiving your child's Map reports. Kindergarten students will not have Map reports coming home. They didn't take the Map test for the fall. Please let your child's teacher know if you have any questions. Also, coming home on Monday will be intervention letters if your child is receiving any small group interventions. Please be on the lookout for those coming home in your child's red communication folder.

On Tuesday, there will be a Map parent informational meeting. Please see the flyer below. If you are a kindergarten parent, you will not have a Map report to bring. There will be a sample report for you at the meeting to use.

This week at Monroe Elementary, our Guidance Counselor, Ms. Allen began guidance lessons with each class. During this first lesson, Ms. Allen explained to the students what her role is at Monroe Elementary. She also spent time discussing with students the guidelines for when Waffles, our school therapy dog, is in their classroom. Ms. Allen is such a leader at Monroe Elementary and we are so lucky to have her supporting our students. She provides whole class guidance lessons on a monthly basis as well as small group and individual counseling groups. Ms. Allen also assists our families at Monroe get connected to needed resources.

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.
