Frequently Asked Questions

SchoolFusion & Edulink

What is the difference between SchoolFusion and Edulink?

SchoolFusion is the Learning Management System tied to Hylton's webpage, http://cdhylton.com. Basically, SchoolFusion and the webpage are the same thing. When a student logs in, links to their class, club, and team pages appear along the left side of the window. In addition, their calendar will display all their class homework assignments and upcoming events. Parents who register for SchoolFusion accounts have access to this same information under their My Family link.

Edulink is where parents and students go online to monitor student information such as grades and attendance. Parents can also use Edulink to update Emergency and Parent/Guardian contact information.

Parents and students use the same username and password to log in to both SchoolFusion and Edulink.

How do I create an account and login to Hylton's Webpage (aka SchoolFusion)?

If you are a student, your account is automatically created for you when you enroll in a PWC school. At the beginning of the year, your username and password will be provided to you either by the school registrar or by your 1st period teacher. This username/password will carry over from year to year and from school to school. You use this same username and password to log in to Edulink.

If you are a parent, you can also create an account to gain access to your child's information. However, first you must pick up your special secret passcode from your child's school. If you have children in different PWC schools, you must go to each one to pick up the passcode for each child. Like our student accounts, parent accounts carry over from year to year and from school to school, so you will only need to complete the registration process one time.

Once you have your passcode(s), go to http://cdhylton.com (or any PWC school website) and click "Parent Registration". In addition to the passcode, you will need your student's ID#. Complete the online registration form. You will choose your own username and password. After two business days, you will be able to use the same username and password to log in to Edulink.

The username and password you create allows you to log in to any PWC school website.

Instructions for Parents (detailed)

I'm a parent and I have more than one student in PWC schools. Can I enter their passcodes and student ID #s at the same time?

Yes, you can enter the passcodes and student ID#s for all your children at once. However, you will need to go to each individual school to pick up the passcodes for each of your children. A picture ID is required to pick up the passcodes.

Once you have registered, you can use the username and password you created to log in to any PWC school website.

I've forgotten my username and/or password. What do I do?

Contact Hylton's website administrator at lowrytp@pwcs.edu.

For security reasons, passwords cannot be provided by email or over the phone. After contacting the administrator, your log in information will be printed and available for pick up from Hylton's front office. You will need to present a photo ID.

I am a PWCPS staff member as well as a parent of a PWCPS student. Do I need a second SchoolFusion account to access my child's information?

No. Please contact the website administrator at the school where you work. They will help you set up your account correctly. You will still need your child's student ID# and passcode.

How do I log in to Edulink?

To access Hylton's Edulink system, go to http://cdhylton.com and click the Edulink link on the left. Log in using the same username and password you use to log in to Hylton's webpage.

If you are a parent with a child at another PWC school, you will need to click the Edulink link from the other school's website to access that school's Edulink system and your other child's information. You still use the same username and password.

In Edulink, what do the codes like "NHI" and "ABS" mean in the gradebooks?

Click here for a description of all gradebook codes. If you see a code that is not on this list, please contact the teacher for clarification.

I'm a parent and is it OK to share my SchoolFusion/Edulink username and password with my child?

Whether or not you share you log in information with your child is entirely up to you. However, please remember parents can update emergency and parent/guardian information online. If your student knows your username and password, he/she will be able to log in as a parent and change that information, too. When students log in with their own information, they cannot make those changes.

Do I need to re-create my SchoolFusion/Edulink account every year or when I change schools?

No. All accounts, including parent and student accounts, carry over from year to year and from school to school.

I'm a student who just transferred to Hylton from another PWC school. How do I create an account so I can login to Hylton's Webpage?

You do not need to create a new account. You can use the same username and password from your last school to log in to Hylton's webpage.

I'm a student and have had a schedule change. How do I add the new class webpages to my account and delete the one's I'm no longer in?

Links to your new classes are set up automatically for you through routine system maintenance. However, you WILL have to delete the links to your former classes. To do that, just follow these directions.

How do I add my email address to SchoolFusion?

When we create our student accounts, we do not have access to student email information to include in the data transfer. However, having an email address in the system is essential to getting the full use out of SchoolFusion, so students are strongly encouraged to add their email addresses.

After logging in, click My Personal Settings.

Type your email address into the Email Address field.

Click Change Information.

I am a Hylton parent. Do I need to join each of my child's class webpages individually?

No. If you've followed these directions, your account is automatically linked to your child's account and all their class webpages. You will find these links under your My Family link.
