Independent Study

Independent Study is a program that allows students to recover credits they need for graduation.

Students should meet with their counselor to determine credit needs.

1. See your counselor to fill out a Continual Learning Plan (CLP), which will need to be signed by the student AND the parent.

2. Counselor will assess what classes are needed and classes will be activated. Student will be added in Flex Independent Study Schoology group.

In-person and virtual teacher time availability is posted in Schoology and does change frequently, so check the calendar in Schoology daily.  

As often as you can! Students do not need to attend IS for consecutive days, however, the more frequently students attend IS, the more quickly they will be able to earn credit. Seat time requirements are 13 hours of seat time per course.

PLHS students may take the activities bus that runs from the high school to Twin Oaks, just adjacent to Bridges. The bus leaves the high school at 3:10. Students should meet the bus by the tennis courts at the high school. Transportation home is not provided.

Students will earn credit upon successful completion of the assigned course in addition to meeting the attendance requirement.

No, but the grade you earned through Independent Study will be added to your official transcript to verify that you retook the course and earned credit towards graduation.

All Independent Study courses will be end-dated May 17th. Students will not have the opportunity to transfer course progress or seat time hours to summer school or the following school year.
