Is the Online Edge Right for My Student?
The Online Edge is for 6-12 students who:
- Are self-motivated, independent learners
- Are willing to stay focused with limited adult interaction
- Are comfortable without a lot of socialization
- Are physically and mentally able to be on a computer for hours each day
- Are comfortable and independent with technology (Chromebook, email, and online learning platform)
- Require minimal support services
- Have transportation and flexible schedules to attend in-person meetings to receive tutoring when needed and to meet with Online Edge teachers
- Have at least a 2.4 GPA
The Online Edge is not recommended for students who:
- Do not have transportation and/ or flexible schedules.
- Need to recover credits.
- Need daily social interaction.
In addition, the XCS Online Edge will not be an option for quarantined students or students with an extended absence. Extended absences from in-person school will be addressed by the student’s in-person teacher and principal.
If a student has health issues that prevent them from attending in person, contact the building principal to inquire about homebound services.
At home, students participating in remote learning will need:
- An adult in the home who can help troubleshoot technology issues and ensure the student attends mandatory onlineand in person sessions.
- To maintain appropriate online behavior, engagement, and work completion.
- Has reliable internet and a personal device OR ability to pick up a Chromebook from Xenia Community Schools.
