The Structured Learning Center is a setting along the continuum of Special Education services offered for students who are displaying long term challenging behaviors. The purpose of the SLC is to teach students through social skills training, and/or counseling, to display appropriate interpersonal interactions and to demonstrate self-control. The SLC is considered a more restrictive setting for students, because it is off of their home school campus on the M.R. Wood campus.
The SLC is based on a level system which clearly delineates the privileges of each level. As a student earns points to progress to a higher level, the responsibility of the student to maintain appropriate behavior is increased. The student will return to his/her home school campus when they have completed the level system as evident by their ability to display appropriate behaviors.
 
The SLC Handbook is available for download at this site.

Since 1997, the Fort Bend County Foster Grandparents Program sponsored by the Richmond State School, provides assistance to students on our campus. Mrs. Virginia Comstock looks forward to working with her extended MRW family.

Students have the opportunity to use networked computers in classrooms on the M.R. Woods campus.
 

The Fort Bend County Juvenile Justice Program was designed to provide a positive, supportive, and structured learning environment with high expectations for all students. Students are provided a quality education in the areas of affective and cognitive development while stressing personal development and growth coupled with responsible behavior. This is accomplished in a positive, supportive, safe and orderly environment. It is the final goal of the program to provide each student with the skills necessary for personal success resulting in the student becoming an integral person in society.

The Fort Bend ISD Ropes Challenge Course is built on the principles of adventure based education. The course promotes problem solving, self confidence and self esteem. Ropes is designed to challenge the individual or group physically, cognatively, emotionally and socially. Ropes does not require greate althetic ability or strength, just commitment and a desire for challenge (from the Fort Bend Ropes Brochure, 1995)
