.
There is a $10 charge for each class period recovered by
students in this program.

Dec. 7, 2017, Dec. 14, 2017, April 28,
2018, May 5, 2018, and May 19, 2018.
These Saturday recapture
days for the 2017-2018 school year will be publicized prior to the

Make-Up Work
Students are responsible for making up work in class due to missed
class time. Students must request make up work from teachers but not
during class time (students may view the teachers’ web pages, email
teachers, or see the teachers before/after school).
Only in lawful
(excused) or out-of-school suspension cases will students be allowed
to make up missed work
. All other absences will result in zeros for
missed work.
Students must make up all class assignments within 5
days return from lawful absence.

currently attending public, private and home schools in grades 9-12.
The online courses are aligned to state standards and taught by SC
