CDS On the Cutting Edge with Edline

This year the Country Day Middle School has incorporated Edline, a cutting edge web based program that helps teachers, students, and parents communicate.

Students and parents receive passwords that allow them to access different kinds of information. Students can log on to check daily homework assignments for individual classes, locate assignments they may have left at school, and explore internet sites selected by their teachers. A combined calendar allows parents and students to get a big picture of what is going on in the Middle School. Because Edline interfaces with the CDS grading program, teachers very easily upload weekly progress reports for all students, allowing parents and students to monitor academic progress.

Teachers, parents, and students are very enthusiastic about Edline.
Teachers are pleased that students are able to keep up with class work when they are absent. Students have been able to set goals for themselves and see their progress. Parents observe that Edline has helped change the typical Middle School parent -student dynamic. Rather than asking "What did you do at school today?" they can say, "So how did that experiment go in Science?"

Here is what some of our parents have to say:

"I'm reviewing (my child's) Ediline reports and was just excited to be using this valuable tool and learning its potential ! "

"Thanks for your support and dedication to making Country Day School better and more efficient. The new Edline site is great."

"Just wanted to take a moment before I left the office
to tell you that I love Edline and believe it will be
a big help for all involved!"-

"I am giving Edline a run-through and just want to thank you for working so hard to display your class information; this will be wonderful to use this year."
