Edina School Districtis making many technological advances this school year. The school district initiated School View, a new program that allows both parents and students access to real-time attendance and more. If parents are interested in seeing if their child showed up for school that day they can login to the system and check. All six elementary schools, two middles schools and the high school will have access to the School View program. The goal is to allow this program to enhance parent - teacher communication relationships.
Currently, Edine is a system available to parents that allows them to see their children's assignments, tests and other academic activities. The School View program will work along with Edine, but will provide more up to the minute district information. School View allows parents access to their child's schedule, attendance, academic information and contact information. The main difference between the two systems is that School View pulls information about the student from the districts database, where Edine information is only available after submitted by a district staff member. A new feature that School View will offer is an email alert that parents can sign up for to be notified if their child is marked absent. If School View works well for both parents and teachers this year the district is looking to expand its capabilities next year. Other capabilities that School View has include: ability to accept online credit card payments for school expenses such as field trips, and setting up charts that plan the goals for that child's learning path.
Not only is the new program being offered, but the district is expanding its technology and going wireless. The district is encouraging teacher and students to use online tools to communicate and collaborate.
