Primary grade metric for school(s)

SET UP TASKS

District Setting

EdgeEX is a new course series in Imagine Edgenuity. Many management tasks will remain the same, such as staff

and student management. However, managing courses and taking action related to enrollments have a unique


EdgeEX experience for educators. EdgeEX gives students an enhanced experience and learning tools for support.

It is important to confirm district and school settings are selected to ensure proper set up for EdgeEX.

The primary grade metric is the first grade metric shown to students, educators, and parents / guardians and is

used to monitor progress in EdgeEX student enrollments.

NOTE: Actual grade in EdgeEX courses is calculated differently than in Imagine Edgenuity courses. Check

out the
Calculating Actual Grade Help Center article for details.
District calendar for the school year

The district calendar governs the system’s way of identifying required workdays and non-workdays for the

school year. EdgeEX courses require start and target dates and workdays factor into pacing and actual grade.

EdgeEX permissions for educator types

Default permissions for EdgeEX are based on user type. Administrators have control over most EdgeEX

management permissions while teacher permissions focus on managing and monitoring students.

Educators have accounts and permissions for EdgeEX

Account Management

Educators and students use Imagine Edgenuity accounts to access and manage EdgeEX.

Add any new educators the same way you would for Imagine Edgenuity.

If needed, permissions can be updated for an individual educator.

Students have accounts and options as needed

Add any new students the same way you would for Imagine Edgenuity.

The same student options will apply to EdgeEX and Imagine Edgenuity courses.
