BUHSD Learning Center Edgenuity Enrollment
Instructions
Welcome
to BUHSD LcOnLine! Here are some important instructions to get you
started with your online Edgenuity courses. Edgenuity is the online learning
platform we use for your classes. Please
be sure to read this entire
message, and do not hesitate
to email us if you have any questions.
ACCESSING
EDGENUITY (STUDENTS)
The easiest way to access your class is to go to the
District’s website: www.buhsd.org. Click on
BUHSD Learning Center at the top of the main page. Go to Programs and click on LCOnline. Scroll down and click on Edgenuity Student
Login. You can also access your class(es) through http://learn.edgenuity.com/student. If you are a
continuing Edgenuity student, your login information is the same as it was before.
If you are new to Edgenuity, your district email ([email protected]) is
your username (unless notified
otherwise), and your password is the first three letters
of your first name, first three letters of your last name, and the first
three digits of your school ID number.
For example, the username for Marissa Lees, ID 23564
would be as follows: [email protected], and the password would be marlee235.
If you are new to Edgenuity, after your initial login,
you will be required view short orientation videos. These will demonstrate how to navigate and access various
parts of Edgenuity. You must view these before you can access your
class(es).
Before
you start your class(es), make sure you have been enrolled in the correct class(es). If you feel there has been an error with the class(es)
you’ve been assigned, please email Mrs. Lees at [email protected]
as soon as possible. Please note that if
you are enrolled in a Spanish class there is a speaking, writing, and
reading component; therefore, headphones with a microphone is required.
ACCESSING
THE FAMILY PORTAL IN EDGENUITY (PARENTS/GUARDIANS)
Edgenuity
offers a Family Portal where parents/guardians can check on their child’s
progress in their Edgenuity classes.
First, you must activate your Family Portal.
Note: You
will need a unique Activation
Code in order to activate your Family Portal. To obtain your personal Activation Code,
please send an email to all three of us: [email protected]
(Mrs. Lees), [email protected] (Ms.
Tellez), and [email protected] (Dr.
Sanders). You will just need to provide
your student’s full name and ID number on the email. One of us will reply to your email with your Activation
Code.
The
easiest way to access the Edgenuity Family Portal is to go to the District’s website:
www.buhsd.org. Click on
BUHSD Learning Center at the top of the main page. Go to Programs and click on LCOnline. Scroll down and click on Edgenuity Parent
Login. You can also directly access the
Family Portal at https://auth.edgenuity.com/Login/Login/Family. Next, you will click on Activate Account (small
link on bottom right). Then, type in
your email address that you provided on your student’s online application and
your Activation Code. You will then be
asked to create a password and security question. Finally, you can login and see how your child
is progressing in his/her classes. You
will also receive weekly progress reports to straight to your email once you’ve
activated your Family Portal. Feel free
to watch helpful tutorial video under LCOnline Resource Videos.
Note:
You will NOT be able to see your child’s grades on Parent Vue, as Edgenuity
does not communicate with Parent Vue. You
will have to use the Family Portal in order to see grades and attendance for
your student.
QUIZZES
AND TESTS
In
your Edgenuity classes, you will encounter quizzes for each lesson. If you fail a quiz, you may re-take it one
time. However, tests and exams (mid-term and final) can only be taken
once; there are NO re-takes on tests/exams. Only tests and exams
must be released by the teacher. You will not be able to proceed in the
class until your test/exam is released by one of our BUHSD Learning Center
teachers. When you arrive at a
test/exam, email the teacher responsible for facilitating that particular class.
See Teacher
Facilitation Chart at the end of this document. Also, note that teachers are given a 24-hour
window to respond to requests.
GRADES
Edgenuity
shows three types of grades, and it is important that you understand
what each one means. First, the Overall Grade is the grade you have earned on the portions of
the course that you have completed. In
other words, this shows the quality of work you are doing and if you are
understanding the content. Second, the Actual Grade is based on the Overall Grade in relation to the
percentage of coursework completed versus the percentage of coursework that should
have been completed. If you are
on-track or ahead of schedule with your course, the Actual Grade will be the
same as the Overall Grade. Only if you
begin falling behind in completing your coursework will the Actual Grade be
lower than the Overall Grade. In other
words, this grade is what best correlates to a regular classroom grade: Edgenuity
assigns a zero for everything that you should have done based on your Course Map
Assignment Calendar. Third, the Relative Grade is the grade earned including a 0% for ALL
components remaining incomplete in the entire course. In other words, Edgenuity assigns a zero for
EVERYTHING in the course, and as you complete work, those zeros transform into
the grade you’ve earned. As you complete
work in the course, your Relative Grade will increase. The Relative Grade will be the posted grade on
your high school transcript.
Note: You will NOT be able to see your grades on
Student Vue, as Edgenuity does not communicate with Student Vue. You will need to check your Edgenuity
Progress Report for your grades. Feel
free to watch the helpful tutorial on Edgenuity Progress Reports video under
LCOnline Resource Videos.
Important: Plagiarism is
presenting other’s words/ideas as your own without giving credit to the
original author. It is also copying directly
from another person/source and presenting the work as your own. Plagiarism is NOT allowed. All work must be your own. Do NOT copy work from another person or from
the Internet. If you use words from another
person, you must put quotation marks around the exact words quoted and give
credit to the author. If you paraphrase information from a person/source, you
must give credit to the author. Teachers
use Turnitin.com to check for plagiarism. This website will check your work
against everything on the Internet as well as all work that has ever been submitted
to Turnitin.com. Any work that shows up
plagiarized will result in a zero for the assignment, and discipline may occur. Plagiarism is a violation of the district’s
code of conduct, and any work that shows up plagiarized will result in a zero
for the assignment, a referral will be written, and the violation will be entered
on the student’s school discipline profile.
RECEIVING
HELP
Whenever
you have questions about your specific classes, please reach out to the teacher
who is responsible for facilitating your class.
Please refer to the Teacher Facilitation Chart at the end of this document to determine which
teacher is responsible for facilitating which class.
Teachers
will also continue monitoring classes during weekends, holidays, and evenings.
One
useful tool you should take advantage of is the Assignment Calendar within the
Course Map. I have set your courses with a specific Target End Date. All work, including your final test(s)/exam(s)
must be completed by your Target End Date.
Please note: you have 24/7 access
to your coursework, so feel free to work ahead of the Course Map schedule.
Tip: Edgenuity
does NOT assign new work on weekends and school breaks; however, because
you can still work in your classes during these days, you can get caught up or get
ahead more easily by choosing to work during these days!
Please do NOT
correspond with teachers through the email function in Edgenuity, as it has
been disabled.
CONTACT

If you need general assistance, you may contact BUHSD
LC staff listed below.
We
look forward to working with you as you progress through your class(es). We ask that you continue checking your
district student emails, the BUHS Learning Center website (https://blc.buhsd.org/), and Edgenuity Announcements
for the most up-to-date information.
