Edsby enables parents to easily communicate with their children’s teachers. Depending on a school or district’s policies, Edsby can enable parents to communicate and interact with the teachers of their children through Edsby Messages, Recent Activity, and their child’s Learning Story.
Edsby Messages
The easiest way for a parent to ask their child’s teacher a question is to send them a private message using Edsby Messages.
Parents can access their mailbox by clicking the envelope icon in the Navigation Bar.
Click the compose message button in the top right of the mailbox.
Fill out the recipient and send the message.
If a parent isn’t finding a desired teacher’s name, it’s possible the teacher has turned off the ability for parents to message them in Edsby. Edsby can be configured to disable parents’ abilities to write teachers private messages if it’s against the school or district’s policy, and/or if they have other preferred messaging systems for parents to use. Parents having difficulty messaging teachers through Edsby should contact their school for clarification.
Recent Activity
If teachers have not enabled parents to enter their Edsby Classes, notes, events, and assessments posted by teachers will be visible in Recent Activity on parents’ Edsby Home Screens.
Parents can let their children’s teachers know that they are reading the notes and assessments they are posting by liking posts in their children’s Recent Activity feed.
Learning Story
Edsby provides teachers with tools to capture evidence regarding student learning. Once captured, teachers can share the evidence with students and parents in the Learning Story.
Parents can view their child’s Learning Story and any evidence their teachers have shared by clicking Learning Story under their name on the parent’s Home Screen.
Or, parents can find it under their Classes Panel on their browser Home Screen.
Parents can like and comment on any posts in the feed and communicate with their child’s teachers about each item of evidence.
