Selecting a Flex Activity

How students can select their own Flex Activities

Updated over a week ago

If your school uses Flex, you'll need to select your activity choices for each Flex Period your school offers. Sometimes, teachers will schedule activity selections for you, but here's how you can choose one yourself.

šŸ’”This feature is currently in Beta Testing. You may still need to use the calendar to sign up - just double check with your teachers if your view looks different!

Selecting Flex Activities

As a student, you are able to select your own Flex activities from any available options visible to you, as long as you haven't been scheduled for an activity by a teacher.

Providing these options gives you the power to express your voice and choice for learning and get any help and support you need.

To schedule your own Flex activities you need to:

  1. Navigate to your home screen

  2. Find the Flex Period you want to sign up for and click on ā€œSign Upā€

  3. Select an activity from the available options that show in the new window

  4. Wait for the green square to appear around the activity and the pop-up box to close

  5. Don’t forget to sign up for all your required Flex Periods

šŸ’” Your school may enforce a ā€œSign-Up Windowā€. If they do, you’ll see the earliest and latest you can sign up in the Flex Period box on both your Home Screen and your Calendar.

No, students can only change their own choices.

Do scheduled passes also appear on students' calendars during Flex Activities?

Yes, scheduled passes will be displayed alongside Flex activities. Students who have additional scheduled passes during Flex Periods will need to talk to their activity teacher about leaving.

Can I search for a specific activity?

Yes, if you know the name of the activity, you can search by using the search bar at the top-right corner of the selection window:

What happens if I’m already booked for an activity?

This means that a teacher has scheduled you for the activity. For any questions or concerns about that activity, please reach out to your teacher.
