Credit Recovery:
Credit Recovery is an after school program designed to help students who failed one or more classes from Quarter 2. Students who attend Credit Recovery and complete the work may have their failing grade(s) changed to passing ones in order to avoid summer school or the risk of being retained. Credit Recovery meets on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays (and some Thursdays!). The program started last week and will continue through March. For more information or to get your child signed up, please contact Ms. Ward (wardt@clarke.k12.ga.us).
