FLEX

FLEX is an additional period to allow for targeted intervention, extension, and enrichment.

The FLEX period falls between 2nd and 3rd periods, lasting a total of 30 minutes.

FLEX is meant to add "flex"ability to our students' already busy schedules. This time allows for tutoring during the school day. Students may be invited (flagged) to a FLEX session by a teacher or students may flag themselves to a location of their choice.

Emails will be sent daily to notify the student of their FLEX location for the day. Students are expected to report and remain in that location for attendance. Students are not allowed access to the parking lots during FLEX.

Attendance to FLEX is mandatory, absences will be addressed with students, parents, and administration if necessary.

What is FLEX?

FLEX intervention- the main goal of FLEX intervention is to increase student success, decrease the number of failing students, and is an opportunity for small group learning. Teachers can flag struggling students for extra help. Teacher requests are indicated by a red chack mark and can not be changed. Students can also flag themselves to work with teachers.

Enrichment/ Extension- the goal of enrichment/extension is to provide opportunities for students who are passing their classes to participate in a variety of activities. Some examples include: Band, Orchestra, Choir, Dance,Art, fun science labs, crocheting, chess, college research, etc. Enrichment/Extensions may change frequently so check the week-at-a-glance during FLEX advisory.
