Credit Recovery

Second Chance is a credit recovery program that provides students who fail a class the opportunity to meet the standards required for a passing grade (D) in one course in an accelerated manner. This is a student led credit recovery effort wherein students are expected to register themselves, be proactive, communicative, and advocate for themselves directly with their Second Chance instructor and/or the administrator, Ms. O'Dougherty. 

• All communication including email confirmation and notification of passing is received via student Jeffco Gmail accounts. 

• In order to pass, students must complete all required work by the final day of Second Chance and will receive an email from their instructor. 

• Please note, the passing grade change will be evident on students' transcripts, not Infinite Campus. 

   

  In order to be eligible... 

• 10 or fewer total absences/tardies (excused or unexcused) during the semester in the course

  If students are missing ample class time, they are also missing essential instruction and core skills. 

  *Student advocacy is the center of this program and goes a long way when communicating with Second Chance teachers/administration. 

Jeffco understands that many of our students have faced extraordinary challenges and cares deeply about helping students understand their path to graduation. The goal is to help students get back on track and make sure families are aware of the available resources.

Contact your school to learn more about specific credit recovery options for your student. The counselor at your student’s school knows your student and the school-based supports best. Their phone number and email are listed on your school’s website.
