What if I forget my screen name and/or password?
Click on the link “I forgot my screen name or password” from the home page of each participating school’s web site and follow the instructions.

What do I do if I do not have a computer at home?
You can use any computer with Internet access -- at your local public library, school media center, community center, etc.
Who do I contact if I have technical questions?
You should contact your school’s Edline super user via email. (Mr. Flagg is the super user for Northwood.)
