Hello Trebein Families,

I hope you enjoyed some time over the holidays with the people you love. As we set goals for the upcoming year, one thing that we will be working with our students on is self-regulation. Self-regulation is the ability to understand and manage your own behavior and reactions. This helps children and teenagers learn, behave well, get along with others and become independent. Self-regulation begins to develop rapidly in the toddler and preschooler years. It continues to develop into adulthood. We use a variety of strategies here at school and there is a great deal of research out there for parents to help with this as well. Below are a few guidelines (which, in my opinion, are often easier said than done). I encourage you to spend some time reading about self-regulation in children if you feel this is an area where your child struggles.

How to support the development of self-regulation in children:

1. Manage your own stress.
2. Keep the end goal in mind.
3. Develop realistic expectations.
4. Stay calm and model self-regulation.
5. Be supportive and encouraging.
6. Ensure that children's resource pool for regulation is regularly replenished.
7. Reduce unnecessary demands.

We know that students who are able to regulate themselves have improved focus and attention, improved test scores, and improved peer relationships.

Thank you for sharing your sweet children with us each day. We are doing our best to help them grow healthy in every possible way.

We can hardly believe it's already time to order your 2023-2024 Trebein Yearbooks! Yearbooks are a great way to capture the special memories our Trebein community is making this school year. There are options to purchase soft cover ($15) or hard cover ($20) yearbooks at the links below.

The deadline to order is March 10th.

Beavercreek City Schools strives to educate and practice the character pillars of Citizenship, Fairness, Caring, Trustworthiness, Respect, and Responsibility through our Character Education Program. This year our theme is “Rooted in our Community” which reflects Beavercreek’s abundant school pride, embedded traditions, and our strong commitment to making our community a better place.

At Trebein, we are discussing what it means to be rooted in our school community and in our Beavercreek community. Our actions make an impact and our focus this year is on the positive impact that we can make on our community. Thank you for your continued support for our Rooted in our Community mission!
