EP Online attendance policies

Minnesota state law requires students to meet specific attendance and residency guidelines while enrolled in EP Online.

Attendance policy:
Students are required to attend school every day, even in an online learning environment. Attendance can be met in one of the following ways:

  • Joining the synchronous Morning Meeting (K-5) or Connections Advisory (6-12) each morning via Zoom.

  • Completing asynchronous work in Schoology and submitting the Asynchronous Attendance Verification Form in Google each day.

Planning to spend time outside of Minnesota?

Residency requirement:
Students must physically reside in Minnesota during their enrollment in EP Online to qualify for free tuition. According to Minnesota statute, students who are out of the state for more than 15 consecutive school days are no longer considered Minnesota residents.

If your family plans to be out of the state for more than 15 consecutive school days, we would still love to have your student in EP Online! Tuition options are available to continue enrollment during your time outside Minnesota. If this applies to you, please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions at EPOnline@edenpr.org.

Will your student need special education services?

EP Online is committed to providing personalized support tailored to the unique needs of all students, including those with varying abilities. Our services are designed to help every student access learning opportunities that address their academic, social, and emotional needs in both general and special education settings. From early childhood through graduation, students receive a high-quality, individualized education program in the least restrictive environment possible.

Our dedicated EP Online special education team works closely with general education teachers, as well as school and district administration, to ensure students with disabilities are supported and thriving in their educational experiences online. 

If your student's IEP has Setting IV minutes, we would be happy to discuss the best placement options available within our district!
