A student who has failed a required course must take some action for remediation. Students who receive a grade of F- in a course are not eligible for remediation. The maximum number of credits a student may earn in a summer program is two (2). There are four options available.

1. Attend the SASD summer school program or a previously approved alternative summer school program.
2. Secure 60 hours of private tutoring in the failed subject area by a certified teacher prior to the opening of the next school year and pass the regular final assessment for the course (tutor must be approved by the principal).
3. Complete a pre-approved correspondence course (arranged through the guidance department).
4. Repeat the course during the regular school year. If the final grade is an F-, then the student must repeat the course to receive credit.

The Guidance Office will contact students who have failed courses. The counselors will advise them on the options available for their specific situation. A student may also repeat a course they fail.
