Aiken iNNOVATE does not offer an Intersession recovery program. Because our curriculum is delivered virtually, teachers assign recovery work based on content that has already been taught during the current quarter.
We will be offering Content Recovery from October 13 through November 7. Students who wish to participate must sign up using this form, linked below:
https://form.jotform.com/252555847192062
Recovery assignments will be pulled directly from the course and assigned by the teacher.
Important Guidelines:
- Only students with a grade below 60 at the end of Quarter 1 are eligible.
- Students must complete all assigned recovery work to earn a passing grade (up to 60).
- Partial completion will not be accepted for recovery of grades.
- Failure to engage in the course may result in removal from the recovery program.
- All recovery work must be completed by November 7. No extensions will be granted.
- Students should continue progressing in their Quarter 2 coursework while completing Quarter 1 recovery assignments.
For questions about specific recovery assignments, students or parents should contact the course teacher directly.
For general program-related inquiries, please email Ai@acpsd.net.
