There are three types of support offered through PASS – credit rescue, credit recovery and new course registration.
Students at risk of failing a course
Students can rescue a course they are failing by receiving extra help from the student success teacher or SST. This could include receiving extra time to work on projects/assignments, extra teaching support, and/or supplemental assignments.
Students who have already failed a course
Students can recover a course they previously failed. SSTs work with students to identify what is required to earn that credit and develop a plan outlining what students need to complete the course.
Students missing a required course
Students can register for specific courses needed to graduate. Since these courses are often completed independently, students have the opportunity to work with the SST and complete the outcomes in less time than would normally be required. This could allow students to finish school and move on, whether to post-secondary studies, work or some other option, more quickly than if they followed the regular school schedule.
