A.INTRODUCTION

 

What Is EDAY?

Eday is a membership based enrichment day program for homeschooling families in the North Pittsburgh region.  The program is a collaborative effort to enhance a homeschooling education by offering courses that parents may not be equipped to teach on their own.  The enrichment program offers courses for students from kindergarten through high school and has over 300 kids currently enrolled.

 

Purpose Of The System

The purpose of the EDay system is to simplify the registration process for the North Pittsburgh Homeschool Enrichment Day Program.  By providing a means for the information on members, courses and registration to be maintained electronically, the EDay system seeks to replace the current tedious and time consuming paper-based system.  The system allows for members to easily propose courses and register their children for courses.  The administrator of the system is then able to efficiently monitor the registration process by approving new member requests and course requests as well as reviewing all registrations and determining final course enrollment.  Through the online EDay System, registration in the enrichment day programs is a user-friendly and reliable process that will encourage greater participation in this valuable program.
