Does Your Child's School Offer Edline?by Sherry Holetzky | More from this Blogger 09 Nov 2006 10:57 AM You may or may not have heard of the Edline program. It's being offered in more and more schools all the time. If it isn't offered by your child's school presently, you might want to request it. I think it's a great program. Once your child's school implements the program, all you have to do is create a free account at the Edline website. Then, you'll have instant access to your child's grades at any time. This is a great way to keep on top of things. While many schools do offer a progress report from time to time, it may be weeks before you find out how your child is doing, if you don't have a chance to visit with the teacher. By the time you learn that there is a problem, it may already be too late to help your child get caught up or improve his or her score before the grading period ends. Some teachers also send home papers every so often, to keep you up to date. Others may not. When children are having trouble in school, parents generally check up more often. However, when they seem to be doing well, it's not always a priority. With Edline, you can check out your child's grades from the home or the office days, nights, or even weekends. Then, if you notice grades slipping, you can find out why and offer or obtain extra help if needed. Our school offers this program for all grades, which is great for our family since we have one child in Kindergarten, elementary, middle school, and high school. If you're interested in learning more about this program, visit the Edline website for information. If it sounds like something that would benefit your family, you may want to speak to a school administrator about it.
