CHS "I-Academy" 📗📖
If your student does NOT pass a class and earns an I, CHS will be doing an "I-Academy" for students who fall within the 50-59% range. The "I-Academy" will be May 23--May 26, 2023 so students may work toward pulling their I grade up to passing and earn the credit that is earned in the course.
- Students who are eligible will be contacted by CHS Staff inviting them to attend
- Any questions, please contact your alpha counselor--info at the bottom of this s'more.
