Credit Recovery in Jeffco
Jeffco Public Schools knows that students may experience challenges that impact their progress toward graduation. We care deeply about helping every student and family understand the options available to get back on track and move forward with confidence.
Credit recovery gives students an opportunity to make up credits needed for graduation. Options may look different by school, so the best first step is to contact your student’s school counselor. Your school counselor knows your student, understands the school’s available supports, and can help explain the best options for your student’s path.
Counselor phone numbers and email addresses can be found on your school’s website.
If you have already connected with your school and would like additional guidance, you may also contact Jeffco’s Student Engagement Office to consult with a student engagement advocate.
