Sunset High School
Summer School 2016
Credit Recovery Program
Program Overview
The Beaverton School District is very excited to be launching our district wide Summer 2016 Credit
Recovery program. As a student, you will have the opportunity to choose from a menu of core courses to
earn credit for classes that you have previously failed. When you successfully complete a course during
summer, you will earn 0.5 credit and will earn a Pass grade on your transcript. While this will not allow
for grade replacement, it will allow you the chance to earn credit needed for graduation. You will also be
preparing for the next level in your course sequence. If a course is not offered at your home high school, you
may enroll at another comprehensive high school offering the course.
Our commitment to you: It is essential to us as educators that we are not only supporting you in earning
credits, but most importantly that we are helping you develop the skills needed for success at the next level of
your educational development. This program has been developed with your future needs in mind. With this
essential goal as our priority, we have incorporated some unique and supportive elements to our program to
ensure your success. Some of these include:
ü Small class size
ü Direct teacher instruction
ü Instructional assistants in every class
ü Standards-based curriculum that is aligned to our own courses, so you are regaining credit while
simultaneously preparing for the next course in your academic sequence
ü A wide range of courses offered across all curricular areas
Students’ commitment: Earning a semester of credit (0.5 credit) in four weeks is not a task to be taken
lightly. We are committed to providing all of the supports possible for your success, but you will need to
understand that this amazing opportunity will require a strong commitment. Daily attendance and staying on
pace with coursework will be essential for you to complete the course in a 4-week period. You will need to
spend time on the work outside of your in-class instruction time if you expect to finish on time.
Please carefully review the registration information and application. Submit your application with payment to
the business office by 3:00 P.M. on the last Friday in May, 5/27. If you have questions about what courses
you should take, please contact your counselor. We are looking forward to providing this valuable
opportunity to you.
