On Site Credit Recovery
Each semester, we provide opportunities for students that have failed classes to take them in our On Site Credit Recovery program. We use specialized software called e2020 to provide a comprehensive learning program in this program and offer this opportunity to as many as 225 students each semester.
Course Extension
In the Spring semester and in the summer students that fail an academic course with a 65 – 69 can bring their grade to a 70 by attending Course Extension
Course Extension allows extra time (40-50) hours for students to demonstrate mastery and to complete additional work.
Credit Redemption
Each semester and in the summer students can re-take courses they have failed and some electives as “new” work in Credit Redemption.
Credit Redemption uses a combination of computer-based and on-line instruction to allow students to demonstrated content mastery and receive credit for failed courses and some electives. Fee is $100.
PAWS (Planning for Academic & Work Success)
Provides grade-level specific information that helps students plan for their future
Advisors are teachers, counselors and administrators that work with a small group of students
