About the Program

PROGRAM DETAILS

The XCS Online Edge learning option is open to students in grades 6-12 and will utilize the Edgenuity Courseware platform. Students from across the district will be taught through the Edgenuity platform, and will have access to XCS Online Teachers for support. Students will meet with their online teacher at least once per week to discuss course progress and academic assistance.

Unlike previous opt-in online learning options, the XCS Online Edge will only accept students who apply and qualify. Students must show evidence of previous remote learning success. 

Online Edge students are expected to:
● Log in to Edgenuity and complete coursework every scheduled school calendar day in order to be counted present. 
● Complete at least 1 hour of coursework per class in Edgenuity each day. Students must have a total of at least 15 hours of logged learning time in Edgenuity by the end of each school week.
● Attend weekly in-person check-in at the Online Edge Learning Lab.
● Attend weekly study groups to get support as needed.
● Attend monthly in-person seminars that focus on college & career readiness and social-emotional learning.
● Attend in-person on standardized testing days.
● Communicate regularly with your Online Edge teacher.
● Check email and the Online Edge Google Classroom daily for important updates and announcements.
● Follow the code of conduct as if they were in school; this includes dress and language.
