Dear Parents and Students,

Welcome to the East Baton Rouge Parish School System “Back On Track” Credit Recovery Program. On behalf of the Office of Graduation Excellence, we would like to extend a warm welcome. We are very proud of you for taking advantage of the opportunity to get back on track!

Prior to registering your child for our program, you should speak to your child's school counselor to ensure that they complete a course advisement form which will let us know what courses your child needs to take.

A student handbook has been created to help you understand the policies, procedures, and schedules that will be in effect for the 23-24 school year “Back On Track” initiative. It is our hope that you will use this information to help you to achieve a successful and worthwhile credit recovery session as well as take advantage of every opportunity offered to enhance your learning.

The entire staff wishes you a successful experience in “Back On Track”. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the summer school office by calling 225-922-5616 or by email, graduationexcellence@ebrschools.org

Respectfully,

Larry James

Executive Director for School Leadership

How Back on Track Works

“Back On Track” is a credit recovery initiative out of the Office of Graduation Excellence. “Back On Track” is designed for high school students to recover .5 or 1 Carnegie unit during a 9 week grading period. Students will receive balanced instruction each evening, direct instruction and Edgenuity (self-paced). Teachers will differentiate instruction for students while remediating and ensuring high levels of engagement. Instruction will be provided by teachers across EBRPSS. Students will receive a hot meal each evening at 4 pm and will begin class promptly at 4:30 pm and end nightly at 6:30 pm. Students will receive transportation from homeschool to designated sites and from designated sites to the students’ home.
