Edgenuity Student Contract
New Edgenuity Students:
The Edgenuity Credit Recovery/ Accrual Program allows you to recover a credit for a course that you may not
have passed or to a course that you may need to graduate. Your success in this class depends on your
willingness to complete the required lessons and your adherence to the rules of the program.
Student Success Plan
I agree to bring my laptop and charger to class every day.
I understand that attendance to school and to class is mandatory while in the program. I will adhere to the
Attendance Policy as outlined in the HCPS Code of Conduct.
I understand that all topic tests and cumulative exams must be taken with the teacher present.
I understand that I must attend before or after school tutoring, if I am struggling in the course.
Goals will be established for students each week. I understand that I may be removed from the class if I do not
meet my established goals.
I understand that I must obey all rules in the HCPS Code of Conduct. I also understand that continued violations
of the code could result in disciplinary actions including administrative dismissal from the program.
I will use only the EDGENUITY program while in the Academic Advancement Center (Credit Recovery
Classroom) unless otherwise directed by the Credit Recovery Teacher.
Once I have received my laptop, I agree to work at least 3-5 hours weekly outside of my regular EDGENUITY
class schedule. If I cannot commit, my parent/guardian will contact my teacher to discuss.

order to complete the course by target end date.

how fast they are working to complete the course.

ahead at all times.
