Edsby: Better Connections, Improved Communications, More Learning

Jun 9, 2020 | 9:42 AM

When school resumes this fall, teachers, students, and parents in Light of Christ Catholic Schools will be connected to each other more than ever before.

Why?

All of these stakeholders have been asking for a single system where instructional resources, classroom and school news, evidence of student learning, and progress reports can all be found together.

Light of Christ Catholic Schools has partnered with Edsby to make this happen. Edsby is a digital learning and data system that provides teachers with the ability to create lessons, assignments, quizzes and notes for students. Once created, anything for marks is automatically entered into a gradebook to help students to stay on track. Edsby also contains an attendance system and a built in communication feed for both students and parents.

Parents play a critical role in learning. During supplemental and remote learning this spring, parents told us that while they were happy with the quality of learning available for their children, they found it challenging and at times overwhelming to use and learn to use multiple platforms and applications in order to help their children. With Edsby, this will no longer be the case.
