Quarter Recovery -- Students may recover assignments from 1st or 2nd quarter if they earned a failing grade. Students will have earned a 60 for the final quarter grade upon recovery completion.
Tutoring -- Students who have no quarter recovery will have time to focus on summative and formative assessments they have missed this quarter.
