If a student receives an “I” 1st Term, they will be assigned to Credit Intervention during 2nd Term.
CREDIT INTERVENTION = Help If a student earns An “I” grade SUMMER SCHOOL: 4th Term “I’s” cannot be made up in Credit Intervention. They can make up 1 or 2 “I’s” in Summer School 1st Term 2nd Term 3rd Term 4th Term If the student earned Less than 50%, they may not go to Credit Intervention. They must go to Summer School. If a student does NOT pass a class, they will be removed from their elective and enrolled in Credit Intervention where they will receive extra help to “FIX” the “I” from the previous term.
“Limited Time Offer” • An “I” from Term 1 can only be fixed in Term 2. If it’s not fixed by the end of Term 2, Summer School is the only other choice. • Term 2 needs to be fixed in Term 3. • Term 3 needs to be fixed in Term 4. • Term 4 must be fixed in Summer School

What do they do in Credit Intervention? The core teacher will send assignments to the Credit Intervention classroom for the student. There are 4 adults in the class helping students.
When does the student leave Credit Intervention? When the work is finished and approved by the Core Class Teacher, the student will return to their elective class and their grade from the previous term will be changed to a C-
An “I” Grade must be fixed. If the “I” is not made up, students should attend summer school to earn their credits.
