Summer School - June 2025
We will limit Credit Recovery students to one course, in the Edmentum Essentials format. Every course attempted will be transcribed with the student's final recorded grade in Edmentum (pass or fail), to avoid any confusion during registration. Students can drop by June 14th if failing to avoid an F appearing on their transcript.
Initial Credit courses will be part A and B, both loaded together. All students are limited to one course for advancement. ONLY Seniors will be permitted to take a second credit recovery course. This means Graduating class of 2025 (who failed and did not walk) or students set to graduate in 2026. Payment for the second course will be processed with the first course, and both will be loaded at the same time.
