Edline

Villa Duchesne has implemented a new online communication tool called Edline. Edline is intended to be easy to put into practice, saving teachers time, and further developing parent-teacher-student-school communication. This web site provides timely and relevant information to the school community in a variety of ways and is a welcome companion to our Villa Duchesne/Oak Hill School web page.

In conjunction with software used by Villa Duchesne/Oak Hill in our SIS (student information system)-Senior Systems, grade book-Jackson GradeQuick, and office applications, Edline will transform our website into an extraordinary extension of our school, where each visitor sees the exact targeted information that we want made available.

Activation for Grades 7-12 began August 24, 2005 and continued its phases into the School's active use until full implementation was completed January, 2006. In 2006-2007, all classes and their teachers are using Edline in a variety of ways.

The processing steps taken to get everyone activated and online:
• Spring, 2005 Pilot Program with a small group of teachers and families

• Evaluate responses to use during the Sprng Pilot Program

• Positive evaluation and strong support contributed to a distribution of activation codes to teachers and students in school. Grades 7-12 parents and students will be activated during the months of August, September and October, 2005. Students and parents who were activated during the spring pilot program will remain active from that program. Teachers will be given activation codes during our August planning days and into September.

• Provide training and support to students, parents and teachers throughout the first quarter. Ongoing support and training was provided from August through December for anticipation of full implementation in January, 2006. A mandatory parent meeting was scheduled for two different evenings; Tuesday, September 27 or Wednesday, September 28, 2005. These meetings were held in the Auditorium from 6:30-7:30 P.M.

• Full implementaton by January, 2006 and continue to provide support and information to all teachers and families.

• Provide online guides to getting started. See the links listed below.

• Contiinue activation and support in 2006-2007.
