💜💛 **What is the Zone Room at Monroe?**
The Zone Room is a supportive space where students learn and practice important social-emotional skills, including managing big feelings, coping with frustration, solving problems, and building positive relationships.
Through our Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), we provide different levels of support based on each student’s individual needs—from social-emotional instruction for all students to more targeted and individualized interventions.
Our goal is to help every student build confidence, develop healthy coping strategies, and feel successful in the classroom and beyond.
Because big feelings are okay, asking for help is a strength, and new skills can be learned!
Mark your calendar, Parent-Teacher Conferences are next week on the 20th and 22nd. Also, no school on the 23rd.
