SUMMER RECOVERY PROGRAM 2025
Credit recovery classes will be offered this summer for any student failing one or more classes. This can be from any current or prior semester.
Students will be able to complete the required modules for three weeks this summer. Students can work on these classes and progress at their own pace. If a student needs to recover multiple classes, they should only recover one at a time.
Please be aware that by recovering a class, the original failing grade will remain on the student’s transcript, but they will earn a credit for the course based on successful completion of the modules. If a student chooses to retake the entire class instead of recovering, the grade earned can replace the failing grade on the transcript. If you do not wish for your student to recover a course, and would rather them sit for the class again, please contact your student’s counselor to notify them that they wish to retake the class.
Please note that a request to repeat a class in lieu of recovering the class is contingent upon space being available, and the requested class being offered that semester.
Transportation is not provided. Students must arrive on time and have a ride here no later than 1:15pm.
Snacks and lunch will be provided.
SCHEDULE: June 16-19; June 23-26; July 7-10
All sessions are 9:00AM - 1:00pm
