Gilmer County High School has set aside three evenings for parents to activate Edline accounts. The Media Center Computer Lab will be open from 4-6 p.m. on September 15th and September 21st, and on Parent Teacher Conference evening, September 28 from 5-6:30 p.m. Parents must call in to reserve a time slot for any of three of sessions being offered so that the activation codes can be ready for parents.
Edline is an easy way for parents to keep-up-to-date online. Once a parent has activated his account, and GCHS has posted information, a parent can use Edline to check your child's latest grades, receive email alerts when new grades are posted, receive emails with school or class information, see what homework is not turned in and read notes from your child's teachers, view team and club activities, verify attendance, view "combined calendar" to see all the events from the school calendar and your own child's classes and activities, read daily announcements, lunch menus, school policies and classroom news. A parent can access this secure information from any computer that has Internet access.
Gilmer County High School was the pilot school for Gilmer County last year. Since Edline became operational last year, the parents who have activated accounts have given Edline high marks. This year, Edline is available in all Gilmer County schools.
"The response to Edline has been extremely positive," said GCHS Principal Mrs. Nasia P. Butcher. "Seventy-five of the parents activated Edline accounts at 7th grade orientation last week. We have set aside these three evenings to help parents activate accounts. While the process takes less than 10 minutes, the benefits of knowing how your child is academically progressing is timeless. This is an excellent tool for everyone—teachers, students, and parents."
To schedule an time slot for Edline activation, please call the GCHS office at 304-462-7960.
