How to Get Into the Co-op Program

Credit Recovery is designed to help students make up credits while also gaining the knowledge that they may have missed in the regular classroom setting. The Odysseyware lesson design fosters ongoing collaboration between learners and teachers, enabling students to progress and practice at their own pace and receive support and guided instruction as needed. Space is limited. Please turn in this form along with the fee as soon as possible. See your counselor if you’re unsure which class(es) you need.

Credit Recovery

The counselors will be working with seniors starting at the end of September to begin the financial aid process.  We are only starting the process NOT APPLYING FOR AID.  Students who wish to apply for aid can do so at a later date.  Fowlerville High School is offering many opportunities to support parents/guardians/students in the application process.

It is important to note this process must be completed if a student plans to go to a 2/4 year college/university, trade school, etc. at anytime in their life and would like to be considered for financial aid.  Even though you may not think financial aid is necessary for their immediate future, it is great to begin the process now with support, so it will be completed if they ever need it later in life.

Financial Aid Timeline & Checklist

Financial Aid can be a daunting task, and we understand.  Fowlerville High School wants to make this process as easy to navigate as possible. Below please find a link to numerous virtual events held through Oakland University.  Events start September 20 at 6:00 p.m. If the link leads to an error, the event may be full.  Please try another time.

A Personal Curriculum (PC) modifies certain requirements of the Michigan Merit Curriculum (MMC) which must be met for the awarding of a Fowlerville High School diploma. For students without disabilities, modification of credit requirements is limited to a specific set of options set forth in the law.  For students with disabilities who have IEPs, other modifications of credit requirements may be sought.  Please note that the intent of the PC is to allow some flexibility in the MMC while holding all students accountable to as many of the content standards as practicable.  For allowable modifications, find the Personal Curriculum Modification Options sheet at the end of our most current course guide.
