Special Programs
Students learn best when given high expectations, positive self-concept and encouragement from both family and school. Students succeed when they come from a home where learning is valued.
We know that your child will be even more successful with all of us - you, your child and school staff - working together as partners. Research tells us children learn in a variety of styles at varying rates so our partnership is vital to ensuring all students learn.
Keeping this in mind, Monroe has several "special programs" to help meet the needs of students.
Please use the Contact Us tab above to email any questions you may have about these programs.
