What is Edline?

Edline is MVMS's online grade reporting system. It allows students and parents to access current grades and assignments online, as well as information about clubs, activities, and sports.

How Do I Get it ?

Edline requires a one-time activation. Your account will remain active as long as you are a member of the school. New students, and their parents, will receive an activation code at the beginning of the school year, along with instructions on activating your accounts. Please note the following:

• Parents and students have separate accounts and should keep their passwords private.
• Parents only need one account for all of their children in MCPS schools, but will need to enter an activation code for each student (follow instructions for combining accounts below)

Activation codes for the 2007-08 school year will be mailed to parents on August 27. Students will activate accounts at school. After 9/1, if you have not received or cannot locate your activation code, or you have forgotten your password, please submit a request for help.

How Do I Activate My Account?

Watch a training video on how to activate your account:

• New Users creating an account for the first time
• Adding a student to an existing parent account

—Print this page and go to EDLINE (http://www.edline.net/pages/montgomery_village_ms)

—Click on "Click here if you have a new activation code."

—Type in the activation code provided for you and click "Enter". For Parents only: If you have more than one code because you have more than one child in MCPS, enter each code, one after the other. After typing in each code, click “Enter.”

—Then you see a screen that identifies you as your child's parent with the words “at Montgomery Village Middle School" following it. Click "Activate this Code."

—Terms of Use Policy appears. Click "I Agree."

—On the next screen, click one of the following:

• "New Account" if this is the first time you've used Edline. Type in your screen name and a password. We suggest you choose something you'll easily remember, perhaps the same screen name and password for your existing email account. Click "Continue."

• "Combine Account" if you already have an Edline account from another child. You'll be prompted for your screen name and password, and the new child will be added to your account.

—Type in your email address and choose your preferences for receiving email.

—Click on the down arrow in the Security question box, choose a topic, and type in the answer. Click “Update.”

—This step is optional. If you wish to do so, click to print the “Student/Parent Quick-Start Guide” to learn the simple procedures for using Edline. After printing this PDF document, close Acrobat Reader or click your browser’s back arrow to return to Edline.

—Click "Done" in the upper right hand corner of the Edline screen. You'll now see your Edline home page with your child's name, or your children’s names, linked to it. Click on your child's name to see his or her schedule. Click on a class to see any assignments posted for that class. Click on Private Reports to see grades posted for your child.

You will not need the activation code again, but be sure to record your screen name and password in a safe place!
