All Subjects Credit Recovery via Edgenuity FAQs
What is Edgenuity Credit Recovery?
An online program is used by LISD to recover credit for classes already taken but failed. The courses are taken by semester for recovery. Students will watch/read lessons in an online program that aligns with the content taught in the LISD course. Students will take notes, do activities and/or labs, and take quizzes and tests. Students who successfully complete and pass the course will receive a grade (not averaged into the GPA) on their transcript. The originally failed grade remains on the transcript as well.
How do I enroll for a course?
Follow the registration link on the Summer School website to register. Additional courses can be added at no cost.
What is the cost per course? How do I pay?
$100 per and no cost for students coded free/reduced.
Payment is done online during the registration process. The discounts are automatically calculated by the online registration site. There are no refunds, so please talk with your counselor before registering.
Can I enroll in multiple courses?
If students have multiple courses that they need to complete and they complete their registered course with fidelity before the end of the session, we will load another course for no extra charge if there is time to complete it.
Please note: Only 1 Edgenuity course will be active at once, but multiple courses can be added based on students ability to complete each course.
When are the dates for Credit Recovery?
- June 10th – 25th, 2026
- July 13th – 30th, 2026
Edgenuity courses will be disabled at 5 p.m. on June 25th and then reactivated on July 13th for students who are signed up. All courses will be disabled at 5 p.m. on July 30th. Courses will not be loaded/activated again until school resumes in the Fall of 2026.
Once I am registered, what happens next?
After you complete the registration for the course, our team will process your request and register you for the appropriate course. You will be assigned a lab manager who will help you track your assignments and progress in each course. The Lab Manager will email class information to the students. This email will include instructions on how to log on and use Edgenuity and information on how to contact your Lab Manager.
How do I get logged in?
Access Edgenuity through LaunchPad.
If you have a Lenovo laptop, then you will click on the Leander LaunchPad icon (with a rocket). If you have your own laptop or desktop, then you will need to go to the LaunchPad site.
Your login is your LISD computer login:
Username (first 8 characters of your lastname_ID number)
Password (whatever you have changed your password to)
Do I need to check in with my lab manager every day?
No, your lab manager is there to support you with technical questions and problem-solve issues you are having. You will work on your course at your own pace from home.
When do I need to report to the lab?
Credit Recovery Labs will be open for TESTING and in-person support Monday – Thursday 8:30 – 12:30. Students will utilize the lab to take all Unit test. Students must arrive to start their tests by 11:30
Unit tests are embedded within each Edgenuity course. The student will not be able to progress through the course once they encounter a unit test. At that time, the student will go to a designated campus Credit Recovery Lab on a Monday – Thursday during summer sessions to test in person. Locations are Leander Opportunity Center and Vandegrift High School.
Do I need to take the unit test?
Yes, all students must take the unit tests in their courses. Students will be given more than one opportunity to take and pass this test. This must be done in person at the Lab.
What do I do once I have completed the course?
Email your Lab Manager to let them know you have completed your course. They will complete and submit the completion form that will be sent to your home campus. The home campus will clear the credit on your transcript. Students should ask their Lab Manager to submit a request to the summer school office for another course to be loaded once the first course is 95% or more completed with a passing grade. Once that request is submitted, a summer school counselor will approve the course, and the Lab Manager will notify the student when it is loaded and ready to start.
Are there buses available to get to the lab?
Yes. We have buses/suburbans on Monday and Wednesdays for students to attend the 8:30–12:30 p.m. open lab. See information at the top of the website for more information.
How do I contact the campus?
You may contact your Lab Manager directly with questions via their email (once summer school starts) or email the summer school office at [email protected].

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The Leander ISD Secondary Summer School Office will be closed for summer break from June 26th – July 3rd, and we will return to the office on July 6th. Below are some frequently asked questions.
When will I hear from my summer school teacher?
Session I teachers will send a welcome email with information that is specific to their course (Google Meets, Google Classroom, etc.) on May 29th. If you register after 10:00 on May 29th, please allow additional time for teachers to send you your class information. If you do not have your class information by 7:30 a.m. on June 1st, refer to the summer school phone number at the top of this summer school website to ask for help.
Session II teachers will send out class information by July 3rd. If you register after 10:00 on July 3rd, please allow additional time for teachers to send your class information. If you do not have your class information by 7:30 a.m. on July 6, 2026, refer to the summer school phone number at the top of this summer school website to ask for help.
What do I do if I do not get an email from my teacher by June 1st (Session I) or July 6th (Session II)?
Refer to the summer school phone number at the top of this summer school website to ask for help.
Does attendance matter for morning teacher-led classes?
Yes, attendance is very important and is monitored very closely. On a student’s third absence, they are dropped from the course with no exceptions. Three (3) tardies equal one absence; being more than 15 minutes late or leaving class early is considered an absence. Each day of summer school is equal to about two weeks’ worth of curriculum during the school year, so the time in class is precious.
What happens if our internet goes down?
If you lose connection, please contact the summer school office for us to help solve the problem. You can also contact the Help Desk for Leander ISD at 512-570-0566. If you do not reach out to the campus/district, we will not be able to help, and you will be considered absent.
When does registration close?
Please, refer to your specific summer school course for dates.
If we live in the district zone but attend a school other than an LISD school, can we attend summer school?
No, registration is only open to current students attending LISD schools.
Can I work on my Edgenuity course all summer?
No. The Edgenuity courses will close/be turned off at 5 p.m. on the last day of each session. The content/progress will not be lost. Students who started a course in the first session and also signed up for the second session will have the course re-loaded and will work from where they left off. Students who do not complete a course they began during summer school will work with their campus in the fall to determine when they will complete that course (typically in a credit recovery class period). No progress will be lost or deleted.
