Engrade Commonly Asked Questions

Mrs. Flynn,
How do you weight my grades?

I count your tests and quizzes as 50% of your grade. Your in-class assignments count as 25% and your homework as 25%.

Mrs. Flynn,
How do I add my other teachers to my account?

You need to sign in to your account. In the box where it says "add access codes," add your other teacher's codes. It is important to note that you need to place the cursor at the top of the box. If you try to add your new access code at the bottom, it will not take. The cursor must be at the top and the new access code must be input there.

Mrs. Flynn,
What is the asterisk by some of my scores?

That means that grade was dropped because it was your lowest score. I have my settings to drop the lowest score in every category. Because we are at the beginning of the nine week period, and we have only one test grade and one in-class assignment grade, the computer will not drop that score. So, if you performed poorly on those two items, it may have lowered your percentage. Please remember that we are at the beginning of the nine weeks. You will have plenty of opportunities to raise or maintain your grade. Mrs. Flynn will always make sure that you have plenty of chances to be successful in my classroom.

Mrs. Flynn,
When will you mark citizenship scores?

At the end of the nine weeks.

Mrs. Flynn,
I do not see any comments for me in the comment section.

I will not necessarily use that unless there is something specific that I want you to know.

Mrs. Flynn,
I received a 5/10 on my pop quiz. Where did I go wrong?

I may have posted the grade before you actually received the paperwork to review your errors. I will never give you a grade without passing back your paperwork. Please be patient and you will receive your paperwork within a reasonable time frame. :)

Mrs. Flynn
Is Engrade a good way to communicate with you?

Absolutely. In fact, I love getting messages from you through Engrade. I have received over 37 messages from students and parents so far. It is truly a great tool for you and your parents for communication.


These are just some of the questions I have received. Always feel free to ask me anything about Engrade, my Blog, classroom procedures, etc. Just remember that I may not see your posting right away. As you can see, however, once I do see your message, I respond.

FRIENDLY REMINDER: Please use the Open Book Study Guide that I passed out on Friday. It will serve to help you be successful on Monday's Selection Test on Dragon, Dragon! Have a great weekend!
