Algebra 1
- Students who have passed Algebra 1 may take the Virtual Credit Recovery course to improve their understanding and skills before the next school year.
- Only students in credit recovery courses receive grade.
- No additional course credit will be awarded.
- Parents of middle school students who retake Algebra 1 over the summer, should work with their student’s counselor in deciding to expunge one of the passing Algebra 1 course grades before the end of the first quarter of the following school year.
Teachers will have office hours at set times and by appointment for students to ask questions. Schools will provide this information to the students.
Classes will be held July 6 through July 24. Contact your school counselor for registration details.
