Village Families are Lifelong Learners

New families completed their third week of New Parent Education classes at Village this week.

Village Families have been coming to school each week for the past three weeks to complete our new family training courses -  Positive Discipline at School and No Bully.  All new VIllage families are highly encouraged to attend these classes to help prepare them for volunteering on campus.   Read on to learn more about Positive Discipline at School and No Bully.  

Positive Discipline at School

Positive Discipline at School  focuses on applying Positive Discipline in the classroom and on the playground.  Volunteers learn the skills needed to talk so that students will listen, set rules so that far less enforcement is necessary, and to effectively handle discipline problems without damaging the students’ self-esteem.  

No Bully

The No Bully class provides families and volunteers with an overview of Village’s  ‘No Bully’ program. This class helps build an understanding of what bullying is and how it differs from peer conflict, the most common types of bullying that occur, and the players in a bullying scenario.  This class also informs families of the Solution Team process, including the roles of a trained Solution Coach and all adults in helping end bullying behaviors. 

These two courses are recommended before parents participate in the classroom and they are offered at the start of every year for new families to attend.  The Village PTA will be providing additional Family Education opportunities throughout the school year.  Congratulations to our new parents for completing these two courses!
