Greetings Warriors,

The county has revised the credit recovery testing procedure in light of the extended school closing. Unit tests do not need to be proctored and students may take them at their convenience. Semester/Final Exams will still need to be proctored. A proctoring session can be requested from the Counselor Information Page: https://grovetownhs.ccboe.net/apps/pages/Counselor_Information

We are sure that students will be responsible when taking their unit tests and uphold academic honesty during this time.

If you need test or assignments reset during this time or have any questions or concerns, please email all of the following: julia.pokrzywinski@ccboe.net, jacquelyn.bethune@ccboe.net, daniel.porter@ccboe.net

We are here to support you. Stay safe and we will see you soon.

Sincerely,

GTHS Counseling Department

Also im pretty concerned about the number of people that have signed up for testing. remember the districts policy still applies, your test needs to be proctored which means you must signup for a testing slot in order to take an end of unit test in edmentum or credit recovery. if you take a end of unit test and it was not proctored the test will be deleted. the following link is where you go to sign up. Don't wait for the last minute there is a limited number of slots available, only 5 per testing hour. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfSVBdsvpz1OI22bSI1DEgTOPfUPtzkUoZLtO50s6s6e_qXIQ/viewform

From our graduation coach;

Good afternoon! Many of you have asked about how to continue online/credit recovery courses since assessments have to be proctored. We met with Dr. Carraway and the plan is to continue to proctor all assessments so that online courses can continue. To proctor assessments, the SSK teacher/counselor/graduation coach will have to virtually proctor all assessments. Virtual proctoring will require you to use Google Meet. If you’re not familiar with Google Meet, please meet with your ITS before the end of the day Wednesday.

1. Inform all students enrolled in Edmentum or GACR that students can take assessments; however, they must be proctored by designated personnel. Set-up your own system for a student to request online proctoring during designated “hours of availability”.
2. Once requested, the teacher/counselor/grad coach will create a Google Meet link and email the link to the student with the date and time for proctoring. Proctoring should occur during posted “hours of availability” which are three hours spread throughout the day. All certified personnel are required to have three hours of availability on a daily basis while schools are closed.
3. Students will take the online assessment while the teacher is monitoring the student using Google Meet.
4. Google maintains a record of the Google Meet; however, please document the student name, date, time and assessment being proctored. We will have to make sure all assessments have been proctored.
5. If a student takes an assessment that isn’t proctored, the assessment will have to be retaken and proctored.

Due to the evolving situation with Corona virus there will be some potential changes to the way my HST class may be run, especially if the school is closed. stay tuned to this website for any further instructions. The links for the two websites we use are provided either here for Georgia credit recovery or through the schools main website for edmentum through the classlink link. That site can be accessed using your student login information.
