Energy-Saving Tips!
We may love summer, but not the cost of keeping our homes cool. Here are five tips from Energy.gov’s Energy Savers Guide that can help you start saving money on energy costs today. |
 |
- Air dry dishes instead of using your dishwasher’s drying cycle.
- Plug home electronics, such as TVs and DVD players, into power strips; turn the power strips off when the equipment is not in use. TVs and DVDs in standby mode still use several watts of power.
- Lower the thermostat on your water heater to 120°F.
- Wash only full loads of dishes and clothes.
- Air dry clothes.

Finding School Ratings
A key concern for many parents is the quality of education their children receive. One way to find out the quality of your child’s school and schools in your neighborhood is by checking the school rating. Checking school ratings can also help parents decide where to move, and/or identify schools they want to request for School Choice. One website for finding school ratings is www.greatschools.org. |

Features of greatschools.org
- Search schools by zip code.
- Refine searches by distance, grade levels, type of school (charter, etc.), and more.
- Compare multiple schools.
- See assigned school by entering home address.
- Learn information about the school including test scores, diversity, and environment.
