All Edgenuity quizzes and assessments will require this browser to be used. Students using QCUSD Chromebooks will have the Proctorio extension automatically installed, while those using their own devices must download the extension. Please note that Proctorio is only available as an extension for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. After the launch date, students will not be able to complete any Edgenuity assessment without the Proctorio Lockdown Browser. Please click here to read more about the lockdown browser.

Kinder to Grade 6: Students may request retakes for Assess-Its, Summary/Reflection, or Quizzes from their facilitator through the SchoolsPLP chat. Students are encouraged to attend tutoring when needed.


Grades 7 to 12: Quizzes and Unit Tests are used throughout the Edgenuity curriculum to assess student learning. Students must score 70% or higher on the assessments to progress in the course. The first and second attempts of a quiz or Unit Test can be taken without the assistance of a facilitator. If a student does not meet the 70% threshold within the first two attempts, they will be required to submit a copy of their lesson notes to their facilitator before receiving a third attempt. Students will need to attend tutoring with their subject area facilitator before receiving a fourth attempt on an assessment.
