WHAT IS CREDIT RECOVERY
Credit Recovery is an option for a student to earn credit for a course needed for high school graduation. Students cannot earn Honors, DE or AP credit, but they can earn academic credit for courses in the same content area and academic level will be reflected on their transcript. Students will not receive a grade bump.
The number of courses a student can recover depends on how much work needs to be completed and how much time a student is willing to put into the class. Generally, we are recommending no more than 2 courses. The student is working to move from an F to a passing D- (60). New work is not introduced. Consideration is given to whether the student should repeat the course for foundation and mastery without delaying graduation.
Students need to bring Chromebooks with them to use during instruction. The instruction is provided online via Edmentum or Khan Academy for the most part, and students are expected to be able to work independently, with limited content support.

Look for more information soon.
GRADING
If your student completes work and demonstrates mastery, their F will change to a D- (60) on their transcript. When a student completes this level of mastery, they are finished with the course. They MUST complete all assigned work.
REGISTRATION
If your student did not pass a course, they were pre-registered for credit recovery. Please log in to Parent Vue and confirm registration. If you are having difficulty with this, contact your student’s school counselor oror the Credit Recovery Principal, and we will help you with that.
