High School Make-Up Credit

High school students who are interested, eligible, and in need of making up prior failed courses towards making up graduation credit, have a few options available.  Talk to your school counselor about options, information, and for any questions you may have regarding make-up credit.  A few options are provided below:

1) Jordan District Summer School: offered through Valley High School.  Summer school schedules are available in the RHS Counseling Center in May of the current academic school year.  Check with your individual assigned counselor if you have questions regarding which credits or classes you may be in need of making up.  These courses are offered for previously failed classes only.

2) Riverton High Quarterly Make-Up Packets: are available from the beginning of school through April 29th of the current academic year.  Individual Study Packets are only offered for the same previous failed course.  Each packet a student completes requires completion and passing of a final exam, in which a student can earn a .25 credit.  Packets for the 2004-2005 school year include:
