A new Flex Time configuration will start on Wednesday, Sept. 14.

The traditional Flex Time schedule will be changed during the 2016-2017 school year. During the current school year, Flex Time will be held during Wednesdays only, starting this Wednesday, Sept. 14. This change is to safeguard Flex Time from being canceled in light of school closings, as happened during the 2015-2016 school year.

Additional changes include Flex Time starting at 2:07 p.m., which extends Flex Time an extra 9 minutes compared to last year, for a total of 30 minutes.

Yet another change occurs during Flex Time itself. Student will be permitted to receive a pass from their Flex teacher to go see a send teacher within the same Flex period.

The length and format of Flex Time have been altered to “allow students the opportunity for greater depth when interacting with peers and teachers,” Principal Brett Bowers said in a letter to parents. In addition, weather-related school closures have been cause of Flex Time cancellation in the past, and the new schedule has been created to allow up to three days of unplanned closures Mr.Bowers wrote.

“I am excited to see these changes, ones designed to ensure the presence of Flex Time in our schedule despite unexpected developments that can occur during a school year,” Mr.Bowers stated.
