Flextime: What is it? Flextime is a student selected period within our daily schedule. Students use a program called, Flextime Manager to schedule themselves for extra help, clubs, make up work sessions, previewing and acceleration, AP test preparation, and a number of different activities. Each student will need to pick the lunch period they wish to attend, along with two academic or club sessions during our 3rd period block. Additionally, teachers are able to request those students they need to see as well. Parents can assist students in choosing their activities to allow for the most efficient use of this time by logging in with their students. A parent training on how Flextime Manager works will be held during Back to School Night/Open House at 7:30 in the H.S. Library. | Immunization Reminder for seniors Just another reminder that all seniors will need updated immunizations to remain in school past the first 5 days. This is a mandate from the State, and we would recommend communicating with our school nurses as needed to fulfill this requirement. | Homecoming Date Change: Oct. 13/14 Big Spring's Homecoming activities (Football Game and Dance) will be held the weekend of Oct. 13/14. This is a change from information that may have been included on the school calendar. |
