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.
FLEX is a part of the academic day. As such, student electronic devices are not allowed.

FLEX allows for academic choice time.
If you have been flagged for intervention you will see a red check for the day. That indicates that the teacher has requested to work with you. Students must report to their scheduled FLEX session on the days they are flagged-even if it is a teacher you do not have.
Flex is NOT optional. Everyone has to have somewhere to spend their time.
Monday is FLEX Advisory. Students can check their grades and flag themselves for the week. Flex is from 10:43am to 11:13 am. Between 2nd and 3rd periods. FLEX is a mandatory part of the day. Every student must report to a FLEX location.
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.
Open areas- Open are areas are available for students who are passing their classes.
Cafeteria: Students flag themselves to a table and must sit in their assigned location. Students can flag themselves with classmates to work on projects. Students may complete homework, read, or use their electronics in an appropriate manner.
Library: Quiet reading or homework time.
Students in open areas are still required to flag themselves in advance to open areas. Attendance is taken at all FLEX sessions.
