TO: _____ [school] Parents, Students and Teachers:
FROM: WAKE UP! -- Wide Awake Kids Excel
We are a voluntary group of parents, students and teachers in Montgomery County public schools who are concerned about the negative educational, health and safety consequences of sleep deprivation caused by early high school start times. For over two years, we have worked to identify and build support for scheduling changes that will enable high school students to get more sleep. Right now, we are working with the Board of Education to explore the potential of "flexible schedules" that will offer students the option of starting later and also use school buildings more efficiently. We are also working to identify and endorse candidates for the Board of Education who share our views.
We invite interested members of your community to join us in our advocacy, educational and information sharing activities. We encourage you to join our e-mail group by visiting our website, http://www.patesslinger.com/wakeup/ , where you will find information about our activities and teen sleep needs, and our next meeting.
If you have further questions or concerns about WAKE UP!, contact Marie Cohen at the4cohens1@comcast.net or 301-654-7702.
Thank you -- on behalf of all our teenagers!
