    Grade Recovery: Students will complete alternate assignments through CommonLit, HMH Into Literature and Canvas. Students can use existing work samples to prove mastery of each individual standard missed to recover their grade for that standard. Students cannot use work samples that have already been used toward credit in their portfolio.
