RIDGE RECOVERY (Credit Recovery + School Plus)

Assistant Principal: Dr. J. Antoine Shade

Credit Recovery Eligibility and Important Factors Confirmation

By signing up for credit recovery, you are acknowledging that the following conditions for eligibility have been met: 

• The student received a final grade between (50%-69%). The failing grade must be posted before being eligible to participate in credit recovery. Students with grades below 50% must retake the class at Peachtree Ridge High School or Summer School.

• The student has been in attendance at least 80% of the instructional days of the course. Students with chronic absenteeism do not qualify for credit recovery and must take the class over at Peachtree Ridge High School or Summer School. 

• Seniors who do not qualify under these conditions may appeal to the Assistant Principal, Mr. Antoine Shade, using this form: https://forms.office.com/r/FsRj6dkXQ4

(Please do not submit payment if eligibility requirements have not been met. Refunds will be distributed after the Credit Recovery Session has closed.) 

Other Important Factors: 

• Students can only recover 1 full credit per Session (or two .5 credits). See the list below of approved courses. Counselors will approve the most appropriate course(s) for students to take in credit recovery that aligns with their intervention plan.

• Credit recovery class availability begins at the start of the help session, not when signed up on MyPaymentPlus. It does take the team time to ensure eligibility and approve courses. 

• Credit Recovery is not NCAA-approved for student-athletes. 

• 1st Semester Credit Recovery courses must be completed by December 10, 2024. 2nd Semester Credit Recovery courses must be completed by May 1, 2025. Courses not completed by the deadline will be deleted, and students must register for another Credit Recovery Session and start over with their progress.

• The credit recovery fee covers lab and program navigation support with a staff member at Peachtree Ridge HS and support intervention programs/resources at Peachtree Ridge HS. In-person is highly recommended, and we have seen a significantly higher number of students being successful in staying after school than completing the program independently.
