At Cambridge-Isanti Online, PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) isn't just about behavior—it's about building positive habits that help students become successful, independent online learners!

🌟 Be Responsible: Log in each school day, check your assignments, and stay on pace with your coursework. Remember, attendance in online learning is demonstrated through active participation and work completion!

💻 Be Ready to Learn: Find a quiet workspace, have your Chromebook charged, and keep distractions to a minimum. Creating a daily routine helps students stay focused and successful.

🤝 Be Respectful: Practice good digital citizenship! Use kind words in emails, chats, and Google Meets. Listen when others are speaking and treat your online classroom just like an in-person classroom.

💪 Be Persistent: Online learning takes independence and determination! When an assignment gets challenging, don't give up. Reach out to your teacher, ask questions, and keep trying.

🏡 Family Connection

One of the greatest benefits of online learning is flexibility, but with flexibility comes responsibility! Families can support their students by establishing a consistent learning routine, checking academic progress regularly, and celebrating small successes.

Our goal is to help students develop the independence, responsibility, and perseverance they need to succeed—not just in online school, but in life! 💙

✅ Attendance Matters in Online Learning

Regular attendance is important for student success! In online school, attendance is based on work completion and academic participation—not simply logging in.

K–6 Students – Edgenuity
Students should be working in each Edgenuity class every school day and making consistent progress. Students should complete at least 1% progress per class, per school day. Keep in mind that Edgenuity's pacing may require a little more than 1% per day to complete the course on time.

7th & 8th Grade Students – Google Classroom
Attendance for students in grades 7–8 is based on completing their full week's assigned work in Google Classroom. Students have flexibility in when they complete their work during the week, but all assigned work for the week needs to be completed to demonstrate attendance and stay on pace.

💡 Simply logging in does not count as attendance. Students need to actively participate and complete their assigned coursework.

Consistent work completion helps students stay on track, prevents assignments from piling up, and is an important part of being successful in online learning.
