For students who enroll after August 2nd, we offer "Champ Checkpoint" or "Recover Relearn" modules which are content (English/Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies) "catch up" modules designed to help students work on any content they may have missed due to enrolling after the first day of school.

These "catch up" modules were created based on parent requests to ensure their students gain mastery over any missed course content. Content teachers will provide support for Champ Checkpoint or Recover Relearn to ensure that all students have gained the necessary skills needed for mastery of their grade-level standards and will utilize data to offer more differentiated tutorial sessions to meet student needs.

Further details will be provided once your student has completed the on-boarding process.
