Policy for making up 12th grade classes
Students may not concurrently take a course that they are enrolled in at the high school. A course can only be remediated once the term has been completed (for example you cannot take first semester senior English in credit recovery or night school while you are currently taking the course at the high school. You can only retake the course during second semester when the course is completed). Seniors will not be able to remediate second semester courses until the summer which could impact participation in graduation ceremony and receipt of diploma.
Can you guess which teacher this is?
