· Home Access Center: The Home Access Center provides an online grade book where parents and guardians can view helpful student information to support and guide their children through the educational process. From home or work, at any time of the day or night, parents can access the Web portal (http://www.champaignschools.org/edison/HAC.html) to track academic achievement through their student’s test scores, report card, attendance records, and class assignments. E-mail links are also available throughout the portal so parents can communicate with the school and teachers.
A letter with username and password information has been mailed to parents. If you do not receive a letter by mail, you can contact the school office. You will need to go in person to the office and show identification in order to receive the username and password information for your student.
· NSBE Jr.: At Wednesday’s Convocation, students experienced a wonderful presentation from the U of I chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers. NSBE Jr. is a club that aims to encourage interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. It is open to all students who are interested in learning about these subjects. Edison students will meet on Wednesdays, after school from 2:45-4:15 p.m.. In order to join students must have a signed permission slip. (see attached NSBE Jr. file) There is limited room so students should turn in their permission slips as soon as possible to Mrs. Mastny in the Community Center or to any teacher.
