Monroe Demonstration Academy Offering Weekend Care And Connect Sessions
The Monroe Demonstration Academy is one of the few schools at Tulsa Public Schools that offers Care and Connect sessions on weekends.
Elmer Thomas is the Climate and Culture coordinator at Monroe. Kids that come from a low economic background: They need that personal touch, Thomas said. They need to know that you care before they care enough to learn what you re trying to teach them.
Care and Connect centers provide students with in-person tutoring, counseling, help with the district s online software, and overall, a space to concentrate on their assignments.
