Learning Recovery

 

Students are offered the opportunity during 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarter to remediate a “D” or “F” in a

core subject area through Compass Odyssey. Applications are sent home every nine weeks with

your student. Each teacher loads the backpack of work and can be accessed at

https://odyssey.duvalschools.org. Please refer to the attachment. Please monitor this if the child

is enrolled at home or school. Contact the appropriate teacher after completion for a grade

change.
