We will be starting a new Friday schedule on October 7th. This schedule will include Pathways and Credit Recovery. Students in need of credit recovery must take credit recovery classes. We will be scheduling you into those classes. We want to get your input on the Pathways that interest you the most. Not all of these will be offered every Learning Cycle and you will not always get your first choice.
