VIRTUAL PARENT CAFE'---NEW PARENT OPPORTUNITY

Parent Cafe creates a space that really focuses on the strength-based modality to support parents and increase resiliency. It utilizes a small group format, one hour, allows break-out sessions for parents to identify the current strengths they may have/are using, hear from their peers (other parents) on their struggles and concerns, and feel connected. The end goal is to hope that the parents increase their resiliency, feel and utilize the strengths they have, and build relationships and support with other parents in their school community.

Second Step Curriculum

This month, our school-wide theme is problem solving. We’ll be reminding students to use the Second Step Problem-Solving Steps:

· S: Say the problem

· T: Think of solutions

· E: Explore consequences

· P: Pick the best solution

As you can see, the first letter of each step spells the word ”step.” Remembering “step” helps students solve problems with each other in safe and respectful ways.

Second Step lessons specifically teach students to use each step and reinforce the message that solutions need to be safe and respectful. Home Links explain the steps that describe why solving problems is important and including fun activities to do with your child to help him or her learn and practice the steps. We hope the steps will be helpful for you and your child when there are problems at home.
