On October 1 you were issued an invitation to join Edsby. Prairie Land School Division is now using Edsby to communicate with you regarding your child’s progress at school. Another invitation will be sent out along with further information later this week. We encourage everyone to sign up. This is where you will find your child’s progress report, and for junior high and senior high students you will be able to see assignment and test marks. There is a free app that you are able to download to quickly monitor your child’s progress, create an excused absence for your child and even stay current on the latest school events. All teachers are in the process of transitioning to Edsby so please be patient with us, as we are all learning this new platform! We will no longer be using ConnectEd.
