> Get Ready Oregon - New Website Launched
> 
> With Oregon's graduation requirements changing and students being
> asked to achieve at higher levels, the Oregon Department of Education
> is asking schools, students, and parents "Are you ready?"  
> 
> Today, we launched a new website to help share information about the
> changes to the Oregon graduation requirements. The website,
> www.getreadyoregon.org, is designed as a resource, primarily for
> parents, which provides details on the changes to the graduation
> requirements, background on the State Board's decision making process,
> tips on what parents, students and community members can do to
> prepare, links to a wide variety of resources, an FAQ, and an
> opportunity for people to ask additional questions about the upcoming
> changes.  
> 
> This site is part of a state-wide public awareness campaign designed
> to help educate parents and students about the changes to the Oregon
> high school diploma. Later this month there will also be newspaper,
> TV, and radio ads all reminding parents that "Whatever our children
> dream of becoming, they need to be ready."  The advertisements were
> made possible through the generous support of the Bill and Melinda
> Gates Foundation. 
> 
> We welcome your feedback on the website and encourage you to share
> this resource with others.  Please pass on this link on to contacts
> you have outside of the department who may find it helpful.  If you
> have feedback on the site, you can email us at
