Repeating a failed English, History, or gym class is not allowed. These failures can only be made up by attending summer school or doing correspondence work. Which method of makeup is allowed depends on the failing QPA in the failed course. In the case of failing Math and/or Science, a student cannot double up in these areas in one year to make up failures. A student can only take 1 Math and 1 Science per year for remediation. These failures can be make up through summer school and/or correspondence work depending on the failing QPA in the failed course. PLEASE NOTE: A student who makes up an academic failure by attending summer school (Grades range from A-F) or doing correspondence work (can only earn a D per course) will get credit of ONE MARKING PERIOD (per course passed) NOT FOR AN ENTIRE COURSE. All costs incurred during failure make ups are the responsibility of the student and his/her parents. A student only has two opportunities to make up a failed subject.
