Saturday Recapture
Saturday Recapture is a program designed to assist students who have used more than the maximum allowable absences in SC public schools.
This program can only assist those students who have exceeded the limits by narrow margins. Students may recapture 2 class periods for each block. There is a $10 charge for each class period recovered by students in this program. Principals and counselors can provide additional information. Tentatively, recapture days for the 2019-2020 school year are scheduled for: Dec. 7, 2019, Dec. 14, 2019, April 25, 2020, May 2, 2020, and May 16, 2020. These Saturday recapture days for the 2019-2020 school year will be publicized prior to the schedule dates.
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.
South Carolina Virtual School Program
