The End of Term Countdown widget in Edge is well into the single digits which will be a welcome sight to all. The Easter break gave us all a brief recharge, but two weeks sans students after another covid interrupted term will be very well received.
The term break will also give us the opportunity to release new functionality in two areas, both of which will be available on our mobile app.
The first is live reporting which will give school's the option of pushing assessment graphs to the caregiver mobile app and portal. These are the graphs found on the People>Student Details .. Assessment Summary page. Schools will have the option of which graphs to publish and when, as well as optionally including a comment.
The second is giving caregivers the option of reporting their child's absence via the mobile app. The notification is recorded directly into Attendance in Edge very similarly to the VisTab sign in/out via tablet system that many schools are using.
March 29 & 30 saw over 100 staff from dozens of schools attend our annual Edge User Conference at the Napier War Memorial Conference Centre. The event was kicked off with an extremely thought provoking hour delivered by guest speaker Henare O'Keefe. His singing, humour and inciteful commentary all spoken from the heart was very well received and set the stage for the following day and a half of workshop sessions. Feedback has been very positive and we are now looking ahead to our 2022 conference to be held in Queenstown.
Enjoy a well deserved term break.
