We hope that more teachers recognize this is not constructive and that we can work together.

It's another way of learning besides the traditional chalkboard method.

The message to teachers … is if you don't come to work tomorrow, you are hurting the kids.

We are confident that our teachers who care very deeply about our children will show up.

We are naturally distressed that the numbers turned out the way they did, but we are not discouraged.

We want to encourage parents to be calm. We want to assure them that the students are safe.
