GOAL 3: STRENGTHEN PRODUCTIVE PARTNERSHIPS FOR EDUCATION
MILESTONE 1: The district and local schools communicate with parents regularly about MCPS’ educational program and students’ academic progress.
DATA POINT: EdLine Activity/Usage
OVERVIEW
EdLine is a Web-based system that allows parents and students to review grades regularly on a password-protected Web site. Student grades are published to EdLine automatically on a nightly basis, Sunday through Thursday, and teachers also can post class materials, assignments, due dates, course expectations, and Web links for their classes. If Internet access is not available from home, any computer with Internet access may be used. For families without Internet access, teachers continue to use other means to communicate student progress.
During the 2006–2007 school year, 52 secondary schools began using EdLine as part of their school’s communication and parent outreach efforts (Table CC-1). The remaining secondary schools will implement EdLine in 2007–2008. Elementary schools will begin to phase in the use EdLine during the 2008–2009 school year.
