About Shasta Plus...

Shasta Plus High School is a an alternative education option in the Shasta Union High School District. It is designed for part-time credit recoverywithout having to transfer studentsaway from their home campus. The goal of ShastaPlus is to provide social structure & educational  interventions through small group and individualized instruction. Wealso collaborate with the comprehensive high school to assist students in working towards the goal of graduating & pursuing post-secondary educational and vocational options. Students are encouraged to remain involved in Shasta High activities and sports, as well as maintain relationships with peers.Students who are successful in Plus, and meet all graduation requirements, may participate inthe graduation ceremony and they will receive a diploma from Shasta High School.

Students have the opportunity to earn ten additional credits by being in Plus because we fit four core subjects in a three-period block:  English, Social Science (US History, American Government and Economics), Science (Biology or Physical Science) and Math (Geometry, Algebra 1A or 1B, Statistics or Integrated Math).  If students have previously FAILED the class, they will earn credit at a rate of 12:1 (Twelve hours of productive seat time = 1 credit).. If a course they are taking is INITIAL credit, they earn at a rate of 16:1.  

There are six six-week sessions throughout the year. Our goal is to involve and notify parents sooner rather than later in order to help the student’s progress throughout the year. Please sign and return all three week progress reports. Report cards are mailed every six weeks; courses will also post to the transcript.  Students should earn variable credit each session.In order to earn credit, students must have seat time (attending regularly) and must be producing work. Shasta Plus uses a positive attendance system which means it is monitored on an hourly basis. Students also need to attend regularly to earn all credits.  If a student has excessive absences, we will have a SST (Student Study Team Meeting) and he/she may be referred to SARB (Student Attendance Review Board).

If your student is not in school, please call to verify their attendance: 225-8444.  As a courtesy, you may also contact Plus at 245-2716.
