Once the students can name the notes across the frets, have them do

Positionally, name the notes starting visualizing 1, 2, 1, 2.... going
to the next string each time and then getting the notes you skipped
on the way back. Then do 1,3, 1,3, .... Then 1,4,1,4,.... Do this in
all positions off the guitar.
Example of 5th position. 1,2
Up: A, Eb, G, Db, E, Bb. Down: A, F, C, Ab, D, Bb
Example of 5th position. 1,4
UP: A, F, G, Eb, E, C Down: A, G, C, Bb, D, C
You should practice this exercise sometimes naming accidentals as
flats and somethimes as sharps until every note as a particular
identity.
What is the point of knowing the note names for fret positions? The
trick is to train your visual memory to associate each string/fret on
the fingerboard with a note in its stave position. Naming the notes
just introduces an extra translation level. The object is to read the
note in the printed music and play it on the string/fret. If you need
to translate from English to French then you learn English and French.
You don't need to learn German as well and translate from English to
German and then German to French.
