Is the Online Edge Right for Me?

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.
