Credit/Course Recovery is for students who have failed (earned an "F") for the semester in a core class (ex: Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies) . Students must pass all core classes during their years (grades 6-8) in middle school. Failing to pass a core class requires the student to make up the course/credit in order to meet their middle school requirements.
Students are sometimes placed back into a course that they failed in order to retrieve their credit / course. This is done on a space available basis. We find that this is usually quite successful as
Students who attend after school or in school credit/course recovery classes use a program called Edgenuity. This is an online program that gives students a video tutorial and then has them complete pretests in order to "skip" sections in which they are already proficient. Students are considered to be done with a credit/course when they have completed 80% of the course with a 60% or higher overall grade.
Students who chose to take a FLVS or CVS virtual course to make up a failed class must complete 100% of the class with a 60% or higher overall grade.
Recovery is offered daily during school and after school beginning in February of Semester 2. The after school credit recovery program is a first come, first served program as there are only 31 available seats per day. The first 31 students to report to the computer lab will be able to work on their recovery. For more information about credits / course completions at the middle school level, you can find more information here.

The Pupil Progression Plan for Middle School states that in order for a 6th grade student to move to 7th grade, he/she must pass at least 3 full courses/credits. An example of a student who would be retained is a student who fails a semester of math, science and social studies, but passes the full year of Language Arts. However, a student who fails a a full year or just a semester of a core class would move on to grade 7, but would still need to retake or make up the core class that he/she failed.
Students in grade 7 may not owe more than 1 full credit ( Semester 1 and Semester 2) of any 6th grade course at the end of their 7th grade year in order to move on to grade 8.
Students in grade 8 can not owe any credits for any classes from 6th, 7th, or 8th grade at the end of their 8th grade year in order to move to the high school.
Usually their is a summer credit (course) recovery offered a week or so after school ends and lasts for two weeks. Students who owe credits / courses in grade 8 (given priority) and grade 7 are invited to attend. Students must have their own transportation to and from the summer make up and are not fed breakfast or lunch through the school system. Usually, the recovery is offered from 8 am until noon.
Students who owe more then 3 full credits are NOT invited to attend as it is very improbable that they would be able to complete more then that during the short time of the summer credit / course recovery program.
Students may sign up for FLVS or CVS (virtual school) to complete their courses during the summer, or during the school year. It is suggested that students who chose this venue sign up for courses as soon as possible as their school counselor has to approve their class before they can begin--and school counselors do work longer then teachers, but DO NOT work throughout the whole summer so students who sign up late may not have their courses approved.
