Edline FAQ's
What is Edline?
Edline is a website where parents and students can check grades and homework
assignments. This allows anyone with an account to check grades whenever they
want to. It is a great way to stay informed about your child's progress.
Using this program you can:
How do I create an Edline account?
1. Get your access code from your child or email his/her first period teacher.
2. Open your web browser (usually Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator).
3. Go to the following web address: www.edline.net
4. On the left side of the screen, find the box for
“Click here if you have a new activation code”
and click on the link for using this new code.
5. Enter your
access code into the appropriate box…the parent should use the
PARENT’S CODE…use the CAPS LOCK and include the hyphens to be
certain that it works.
6. The next screen should have the text box for the access code…BELOW THAT, your name should appear :
7. In order to use this service, you must select
I AGREE at the bottom of the screen…notice that there is a scroll button for
the agreement and a SEPARATE scroll button (on the far right) to move the
entire page.
8. Select NEW ACCOUNT…if you are adding an additional child (for example, from
another campus), then you may choose to combine accounts. Click the
‘Combine Accounts” demo for instructions.
9. Screen Name…like the beginning of an e-mail address…examples include: bellj,
JeremyB, JBELL123…be careful to type that name in the SAME way
(capitalization, marks, etc.) during all future sessions .
10. PASSWORD…a word, number, or mixture of letters and digits
…examples include: deerhunt, teach2001, pdiddy3…this should be secure. We
strongly suggest you use a name and password different from your child’s
personal Edline account.
11. RETYPE PASSWORD…simply retype the same one from the previous step using the
same letters, digits, capitalization, etc.
Your name should already be entered…however, there may be additional
information (such as an e-mail address) requested as you continue through the
steps…simply answer these items as they arise.
12 . You should be able to complete the account’s creation and will eventually
return to the login page (where you were in Step 3).
NOTE: If the computer gives you an error about your name selection, then you
usually have to enter the information (password and all) again. This GENERALLY
means that someone has the name that you requested. You can probably use the
name “with a little tweaking”…for example: JeremyB becomes JeremyB246.
I forgot my screen
name, how can I find out what it is?
Go to www.edline.net. Click the link that
says "I forgot my screen name or password". You will need to enter your
email address in the second box. The email you enter must be the same email
address you used when you originally signed up. You will then be asked the
security question you set up for yourself. If you answer the question
correctly, your screen name and password will be emailed to you.

I forgot my password, how can I
find out what it is?
Go to www.edline.net. Click the link that
says "I forgot my screen name or password". You will then enter your screen
name in the first box and click the continue button. You will then be asked the
security question you set up for yourself. If you answer the question
correctly, your screen name and password will be emailed to you.
I forgot my screen name
and my password, how can I find out what they are?
Follow the same procedure for "I forgot my screen name, how
can I find out what it is?"
How often is Edline updated?
Teachers do their best to update their class grades at least once a week.
Homework assignments are also posted weekly. If you ever have a question about
a child's grades or homework assignment, you should contact the teacher that
issued the grade or homework.
How do I Access online reports?
1. Go to the Edline Welcome Page www.edline.net
2. At the left, enter your screen name in the appropriate text box under MEMBER
LOG IN.
3. At the left, enter your password in the appropriate text box under MEMBER
LOG IN.
4. Choose the appropriate student from the list at the left. If you have only
one student, then click on that one name.
5. You should now see a listing of your child’s classes (down the left side)…by
clicking on a particular class, you are forwarded to a copy of that teacher’s
class information.
6. On the course page, there will be pertinent information about the course
(this will be updated and improved as the teachers receive additional training
in upcoming weeks).
7. On the right side of the course page, there is a link to see the student’s
current grade or the student’s progress report (that depends upon how the
teacher set up the link)…simply click on that link to see your student’s score
as it appeared when the report was sent.
8. REALIZE: You are not seeing an “active copy” of the teacher’s gradebook.
Most teachers are sending reports periodically. Please contact the
individual teacher via the link on the class page if you do not see a report or
if you believe that the report contains errors.
9. You may now continue selecting other courses from your student’s schedule
and repeating step 6…or you may prefer to use the VIEW REPORTS option along the
side.
10. NOTE: For security reasons, if you leave the browser “idle” for too
long, Edline will usually require you to log in again. This prevents
other users from walking up and browsing through your account.
