Management of parent-submitted planned absences, late slip handling and other daily school office tasks are made a breeze in Edsby.
Parent teacher interviews can be managed by the office in Edsby.
At report card time, teacher submissions of report card data can be centrally managed in Edsby by the school or district, with submissions approved by the school office. Report cards can be printed, and/or published electronically to parents.
Edsby can show principals and staff what’s going on in their school right now. See how many students and staff are absent. Or how many classes are being taught, or what field trips are happening. Click on anything and drill down for more information.
Need to find a teacher with a spare next period? Need to find out what class a particular student is in right now? Or whether maintenance can go into a particular room? Edsby can say.
Edsby provides an easy way to share district-wide news, or local school news, with your relevant communities. Students and teachers can draft messages for the news feed, but they’re only published after approval by an administrator with permissions.
Edsby can quickly and easily send messages to very targeted groups. Want to send a message to parents of kids with IEPs? No problem. Want to remind kids in grade 9 with averages under 60% that there’s extra help available? It’s just a few seconds away with Edsby. How about letting all of the kids of a particular teacher know she’s away with a sprained ankle? Again, Edsby makes it easy.
Edsby helps schools leverage their untapped army of parents that want to help their kids succeed. It’s been hard to let parents into day-to-day academics in the past. Edsby changes this with well thought-out (and free) access for parents—not as an afterthought, but by design.
Edsby helps parents get a better sense of where their kids are at in school. When they see assignments, tests, homework, absence data and more, they become more enrolled in their children’s success.
It’s harder and more expensive than ever to get teachers together at the same time and place. The group collaboration capabilities of Edsby help build collaborative inquiry online and foster professional learning anytime, anywhere.
