Extra attention for students
TCOG’s Foster Grandparents assist and support teachers by tutoring, mentoring, and encouraging Texoma’s special needs students.
Targeted referrals
School counselors and administrators are often the go-to people for children and families that are in crisis.
Dial 2-1-1 and TCOG will provide you with appropriate information and referrals to assist those families.
