This flexibility allows students to focus on completing coursework at a pace that supports their success.<\/p>\n<p>Attendance is determined by student engagement in learning activities. Students are marked &#8220;present&#8221; by attending class on campus in -person or by actively logging in and participating in their Edgenuity coursework from home.<\/p>\n<p>To support learning outside of school, students may check out a laptop computer if needed. Teachers are also available through Microsoft Teams to provide academic assistance, answer questions, and help students navigate Edgenuity or resolve technical issues during the school operating\u00a0hours.<\/p>\n<p>For students that still need to pass their state assessments, it is recommended that the student come to the campus at least twice per week.<\/p>\n<p>Our goal is to provide flexible options that help students stay engaged, earn credits, and successfully graduate while balancing the demands of their daily lives.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions about the flexible learning model or your student&#8217;s schedule, please contact the PBPA office at 772-468-5880.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting student success.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Arthur Jamison &#8211; Principal<\/p>\n<p>Performance Based Preparatory Academy[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text] Our Vision At Performance Based Preparatory Academy (PBPA) education is built on the idea that each student is unique and learns best through an individualized plan.
