Ready Kids is a tool for parents and teachers to use to be able to speak to their students and children about how to be prepared for any type of disaster.

The administrators and teachers have opened doors for parents. The more parents participate, the better academic results the kids will have.

[Congratulating principals, teachers, parents and students,] on a truly remarkable year, ... another encouraging sign that our reforms are taking hold.

The teachers at Lake Powell Academy, as well as the parents and students, put a lot of effort into improving the programs, so that result is not surprising. Achievement was not an issue in our closing; it was strictly financial.

Teachers were excited to have their kids back in class and to welcome some new ones. The students seemed to be rested and ready to go back to work. Everybody's looking forward to a great second semester, and based on the first day, we're off to a good start.

It takes us all. That's why it's important that parents, teachers and students work together in concert to address these issues.
