• Credit Recovery- If your student failed a class, please see below for different options.

Dear Parent/Guardians:

Students should enrolled in credit recovery when the final course grade is 69% or below. Please check Infinite Campus for final grades. Students who do not pass the required courses for graduation must retake the course. When students fail a course, we would strongly encourage you to sign them up for credit recovery.

The DeKalb County School System along with Tucker High School will provide an opportunity this semester for students who need to retake courses they failed. These options are free to all DeKalb County High School students. Only students who plan to retake courses through GACR may have a fee if they did not complete a previous credit recovery course with that program. 

Students have the option to utilize the Georgia Credit Recovery platform, available through Georgia Virtual Learning. Flex Academy Restore is the online platform provided by DeKalb County Schools. Tucker HS will provide credit recovery through the Edgenuity Platform. These are all online platforms. The information to enroll in each program is in the link listed below. 

• THS Credit/Grade Recovery Use the THS Registration link to list the names of the course(s) you need to retake. https://forms.office.com/r/Biq89VzY10  That will complete the registration process. 
• Flex Academy Restore- Use the THS Registration link to list the names of the course(s) you need to retake. Complete the attached Student/Parent Agreement Here . Return the form to the Counseling Office as soon as possible. You will not be enrolled in the course if that form is not returned to the counselor. The counselor will submit your courses requests to Flex Academy once the form is completed and returned. 
• Georgia Virtual Credit Recovery If you would like to participate in Georgia Virtual Credit Recovery, you must sign up using the following link: https://gavs.geniussis.com/PublicWelcome.aspx.

 The deadline to register for credit recovery is January 23rd

 Please be mindful, DCSD does not drop any failing grades. All courses (passed and failed) will be averaged to calculate the student's gpa. Failed courses have a negative impact on the gpa.
