EASTVIEW HIGH SCHOOL

Eastview High website officially launched

As part of its efforts to digitalize, Eastview High is pleased to launch its website. Communication between parents and the school will now be much easier as parents will be able to access their children's performance on assignments and tests from month to month.

 The key features to expect on the site include calendar of school events, access to your child’s grades, virtual classes. A virtual class allows learners to communicate with one another, view presentations or videos, interact with other participants, and engage with resources in work groups. There is also a provision for online registration for both students and parents among a plethora of additions that have been made.

The question though is what does this mean to you as a major stakeholder and what will this contribute to the education of our children. For starters this is part of the e-learning programme and its important that you understand what to expect. We noticed that some parents have challenges accessing their children's reports. This is now an issue of the past. Furthermore, assessing how your child is performing is very important . Hence through the virtual classes, parents will have access to student assignments and current performance amongst other benefits.

2017 outlook

As the year ended we had print and electronic mark schedules. This helped us view areas in which students have special needs and beginning 2017 students accounts will be customized with e- learning resources based on those resources with individualized study plans for each student. In this way ,if for example ,in

form one , 5 students failed in accounts and 10 in English ,these students will have comprehensive amount of content in areas they have an urgent need. It is our plan to use e-learning as a tool to improve students performance. All forms will be grouped and then further regrouped in line with past performance. In the coming year, online

tests will be introduced .These will give results in real time

helping our assessors nip the problem in the bud ,so a student that was an average performer will have his/her performance be improved.
