Diane posted in her blog recently about back to prison.. I mean school, so here’s my post about it. Sara starts in high school Friday, but today was freshman orientation, both for students and parents. One thing I was very pleased to hear (and Diane will understand my appreciation) is that the school now has EDLINE in place. EDLINE is a website that parents and students can go to, log in, and see their students grades, updated WEEKLY. They can also see absences, so you’ll know if your kid skipped school. Another great thing on EDLINE is a long list of email addys, home phones, cell phones, etc for every teacher at the school.
It’s about time!
Oh HELL yes! I can find most of the phone numbers and the email addresses for teachers on the GCISD site but grades and absences? I’m drooling!
Off topic, but Mel, you’re on my blogroll.
Thanks Mac! You’ve been on mine for awhile.
I think he was just waiting longer for the background check
So about this Edline, can Edline work internationally? I guess I should go check it out on my own. Sounds interesting and something that parents will appreciate. Bet my mom will wish she had that when I was a teen, not that I skipped school too often or anything heh heh heh
Samantha, I think it all throughout the US and the individual schools have to put it in place.
and uhhh yeah i never NEVER NEVER skipped.. what was the name of that place?
Bringing Families Closer To Schools
I’ve got to thank my lucky stars that they didn’t have this when I was growing up. Thanks to One Webmaster’s Blog, I have learned that there is an online programme called Edline that schools can use to share up-to-date…
I wrote a little email to the superintendant and asst. superintendant of my school district today about this program. Keep an eye on “Stuff” for a post on this soon!
