Credit Recovery is a remediation plan utilizing computer assisted instruction (PLATO) to recover or re-gain course credit. To be eligible for this program, a student must have failed a course due to low grades in the previous semester or as a result of Attendance Review.

There are three types of Credit Recovery at Foard:

• Final Grade 65-69
• Final Grade 64 or below
• Attendance Review Failure

What makes me eligible?

• I failed a class with a final grade ranging from 65-69
• If the course had an EOC, I passed the EOC at the end of the last semester.

How can I make up this credit?

• Attend PLATO sessions after school between the hours of 3:15-5:00 pm or complete PLATO hours on my home computer.
• Complete the 22 hour (depending on pre-test, could be more) course no later than May 12th.
• Work consistently on the PLATO system. Irregular work habits will forfeit your right to make up this credit through PLATO.

What happens next?

• Complete the contract and return it to your school counselor by Thursday, March 13.
• Make sure you and your parents have signed the contract.
• Wait for notification about your official start date.
