Credit Recovery

Scholars who have received a failing grade or a "D" grade in a course may recover the credit and receive forgiveness for the poor grade.  This option is available in many courses taught at Largo.  Upon completion of Credit Recovery, the new grade will replace the old grade and will boost a scholar's grade point average.  Credit Recovery is a online, school-based, after school program at no cost.  Students work at their own pace.  Please contact Mrs. Tammy Proctor in room 2-244 before school or email her at proctort@pcsb.org for a registration form.  Classes are Monday - Thursday (no Fridays) from 2:30 to 4:30.  Classes start on August 14.  Please don't let a poor grade point average prevent you from graduating or losing acceptance to your choice university.  Register today!
