Testimonials
Academically, my son benefited from this program because of the small environment and the positive teachers to help him perform during his suspension. - Middle School Parent
I'm thankful there is a program in place to not only help my daughter but others to be successful in school by not falling behind academically because of a "bad choice" on her part. - High School Parent
Everyone working at A2S was very nice, accommodating, and helpful. This impacted my daughter in knowing that she is a good kid that made a poor choice and was not judged. - Middle School Parent
I believe this is a very good program for kids who make mistakes that result in a suspension from school. - High School Parent

Testimonials
My son had time to complete his work and he felt as if he was still in school. Keeping Up gave my son a great chance to stay on track with his school work. This is a very useful program. I would suggest Keeping Up for another parent if their child is suspended from school. - Middle School Parent
My son felt better about himself and that he could go back to school and be a better student. His grades and his attitude improved as well. - Elementary School Parent
Keeping Up is a great opportunity for students to receive support and stay involved in school during a suspension. – Middle School Parent
This is a great program, and I am forever grateful for everyone who made this possible. - Elementary School Parent

Testimonials
My daughter now realizes to stop making the same mistakes. She benefited because she was in school doing her schoolwork rather than being home alone. – High School Parent
I’m glad my daughter had a place to go while I went to work rather than being home unsupervised. - Middle School Parent
