Every parent can now check the status of their kids' attendance, grades, homework and a myriad of other things thanks to the internet. We've always had Gradespeed and teacher websites - always dependent on how much and how often the teacher posts information.
Now we have KISD Home Access and Edmodo. And we still have teacher websites. And since the Home Access and Edmodo are new - we are all trying to learn how to use them at the same time! There are text alerts from individual teachers, Edmodo alerts, baseball (both teams) text messages, football texts, football twitter and facebook, PHIS facebook, Central HS twitter and facebook, Blackhawks website and e-mails from Miss Tiffany at Peyton's dance studio. I believe my head spins all the way around at least once a day!
Of course the kids are super-techno kids who roll their eyes at their mother when she gets it all mixed up. And, as I learned yesterday morning - when she gets it right! Murph came down the stairs all ready to jump on the couch and watch some football when he sees his mom all logged in and checking the Edmodo! HUGE eye roll, shoulder bounce, heavy sigh, grunt, growl, shoulder slump.
To his credit - he was a superstar student yesterday. Got all his work done. Did his very best. Didn't complain (much) and still had time to watch a little football and play with the neighborhood kids.
Time to go check all 20 places to see what they need to be doing tonight!
