EdLine   As part of the approved 2011 Bond program, RISD began implementation of Edline for the 2011-12 school year. Edline is a dynamic, web-based content management system that engages teachers, students and parents with timely and relevant information and aligns to the district's Vision 2020 mission and goals.

Within Edline, all RISD teachers are designing web pages to share information, assignments, calendars and links for their class.  We will be sharing secure and confidential activation codes with students and parents to access Edline.  Parents soon will receive separate activation codes for each student enrolled in RISD.

To access Edline after receiving an activation code, simply click the Edline link on the top of the RISD home page or visit www.edline.net. Additionally, RISD is utilizing Edline to launch new campus and district websites, which will feature multiple language translation capabilities to engage and communicate with all district stakeholders.

Teachers’ lounge makeover   Take a peek in our Teachers’ Lounge! Marian Kreft, Robin Stevens, Tric Sohosky, Natalie Yancy, Charlotte Gruber, Lisa Hord, Jolissa Dobbs, Linda Flatt, Karen Crowder, Bibi Negusse and Laurie Osborn donated money and elbow grease to make it beautiful and cozy!  Ms. Stevens even painted art work for the walls.  Thank you to these wonderful moms and to our PTA!

Reflections   The 2011-2012 theme is "Diversity Means."  The goal of the Reflections program is to emphasize that all children have the ability to create a work of art that shows what diversity means to them.  Your child may enter any of the 6 categories (visual arts, photography, literature, musical composition, dance choreography, film/video production) as many times as he/she likes!  More information with October due dates to follow soon.
