A Chance for Recovery

January 22, 2009

For students who are struggling to keep a passing grade in a class, but did not receive a credit for that class, are eligible for credit recovery as long as their final semester grade ranged from a 60-69. In order to complete the program successfully, all assignments must be attempted including the final exam, and students must have received a minimum of 70% on each assignment.

“I think it’s a great opportunity for a student who has gotten close, but did not earn their credit,” said teacher Andy Wyckoff.

There are a few options students have to gain the credits that are required in order to graduate, since students are no longer permitted to re-take a core class in an eighteen week semester. Other options besides credit recovery include summer school, the Compass Program, or an online course through UK.

“Credit Recovery is the least intrusive of the four options,” said teacher Mark Haddox, “Students can complete this program in four days, as long as they meet the requirements set forth by the “Site-Base Council.”

Students who are still unsure about credit recovery can talk to Mrs. Sargent, assisstant principal. You will find her either in her office or by e-mail at mary.sargent@stu.boone.kyschools.us
