More accountability in the classroom is helping students in the Palm Beach County School District (PBCSD) achieve success in their schoolwork. And it’s Edline—the world’s leading web-based solution for K-12 schools—that’s holding administrators, teachers, parents and students responsible through an improved line of communication.

An e-mail response within 24 hours from a teacher; a weekly report on a child’s grades; and around-the-clock access to school assignments and schedules. Those are just a few ways technology in the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District (PVPUSD) is helping to improve the lines of communication between school and home. The technology is Edline—the world’s leading web-based solution for K-12 schools. School officials say the improved communication from Edline has resulted in more parental involvement and led to higher student achievement.
"We chose Edline and GradeQuick as a way to save time and prevent headaches. Plus it was fully compatible with existing administrative software. Edline provides a good, solid product with a simple gradebook interface," says Jim Smyton, Clarion’s I.T. coordinator.
With Edline, Bayside now has a coordinated and systematic method for sharing information with parents via a private and secure website customized for Bayside. When something new is posted or when important details change, parents receive an email alert encouraging them to access that information.
In just four short years, Edline’s cutting-edge communications and technology solutions have become an integral and appreciated part of the instructional routine at South Park School District in southwestern Pennsylvania. And with an increase in teacher turnover during recent years, the staff is getting younger and more enthusiastic about using technology to improve student performance and increase parental involvement.
