The highly anticipated (and somewhat dreaded) FLEX schedule began Monday. While some students are apprehensive about this new schedule, it provides students a chance to see teachers for tutorials or just take a break from the hectic school day. This week, students will stay in second period during FLEX time so they can get used to the new class times. Next Tuesday marks the official start of FLEX time, when students can choose how they spend this time. Teachers are offering closed tutorials for failing students as well as open tutorials, providing other students a chance to get help with assignments. Additionally, U.I.L. coaches will have closed tutorials for students participating in these events.
