    Parent FAQ About Edline

    How do I view my child's grades?

    The Edline component of OARS is accessed via the Internet and is secured with a screen name and password. Parents will receive an activation code and instructions from the school. The instructions provide guidance for activating your account and setting up a screen name and password. A link to Edline is available from the home page of each participating school's Web site.

    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 information will I be able to see?

    Grade book information such as individual assignment and assessment (class quizzes and tests) scores, and current course grades will be available for each class.

    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.

    Do parents and students have separate/individual accounts?

    Yes, parents and students have separate accounts. Parent accounts can be linked to one or more students, allowing parents to see information for each of their children.

    Can anyone else see my child's grades

    No. Other students and parents cannot see your child’s grades.

    Can a non-custodial parent have an account?

    Contact your child’s school for further information.

    Can I see information for all my children in the same place even if they are in different schools?

    Yes. You can see the information for all the children who are attending participating schools. Follow the instructions for a new activation code. Edline will guide you through linking multiple activation codes (one code for each student) to one screen name. You can print an account set up guide by clicking on help on the Edline login page when you first activate your account.

    How will I know when grades are updated?

    You can elect to receive an email message from Edline when new reports are posted. Login and click on “Manage Account” in the Command Center box. Then choose the option “Allow my school to send me email through Edline.”

    Who do I contact if I have questions about the grades?

    Contact your child’s teacher first. If any questions persist, contact the school administration. You can also consult the MCPS Grading and Reporting website: www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/info/grading/
