EDLINE
Edline is MCPS's Web-based classroom-to-home communication system available through the Internet and is part of the Online Achievement and Reporting System (OARS). It allows students and parents to see grades and other information from teachers about classes. All grades automatically are posted to Edline from the teacher’s electronic grade book every Sunday through Thursday evening. Any computer with Internet access may be used—at home, local public library, school media center, or community center. Teachers will continue to use other means to communicate student progress for families without Internet access. Parents and students have separate Edline accounts. Parent accounts can be linked to each enrolled student. Student achievement information, such as individual assignment and assessment (class quizzes and tests) scores and current course averages will be available for each class. Parents and students new to Edline or new to the school need to activate their Edline accounts. An activation code is required to use Edline and to create a screen name and password. During the first two weeks of school, an Edline activation code and instructions will be mailed home for parent use only. Students will receive their activation codes at school.
ASSIGNMENT REPORTS (GRADE UPLOADS)
EXPLANATION OF EDLINE SPECIAL GRADES
Interim Reports (paper, not electronic) are provided to supplement the Edline on-line grade program. Students with a C or below will have an interim report mailed home halfway through each quarter. Students will not receive additional progress reports. If you have questions about Edline (not the student's classes), please contact Ms. Gardner, our Edline administrator, and she can assist you. If you have questions about your grades, please contact your teacher. If your Edline site does not list all classes or if incorrect classes are listed, please contact your Guidance counselor. |
