This Thursday, students experienced their first FLEX session where they began the day in their Inspire classes for 40 minutes. FLEX is a program at Addams where the staff spends structured time with small groups of students to facilitate a variety of activities designed to raise student achievement. Each FLEX period begins with students logging onto the Infinite Campus portal and checking their grades. Students also make sure they have no missing assignments. Next, teachers pull small groups while other students are working on homework or completing any work that is missing. Sometimes, the staff member works with a targeted group(s) to reteach material that the students have yet to master after initial instruction. Other weeks, teachers pull small group(s) that have already met the learning objective to offer an enrichment activity that will challenge these students. Finally, some weeks a whole department will pull a group of students to prepare for an upcoming assessment or concert, etc. It truly is a FLEX period, as the staff has flexibility to complete many tasks, all related to increasing student achievement.
