Big picture

October Phoenix Award - Mika Matysczak

Junior Mika Matysczak is a student that has come a long way since joining us at Flex. He has worked to engage in classes, and is proving to be a mathematical genius. Conversations with Mika are always interesting and thought provoking, he has great insight and a wonderful sense of humor. Mika has taken on major leadership roles not only here but in the community as well, especially through his role as a peer educator at the REC Room. Mika is a great friend, is kind, open, resilient, has a fun spirit, and is a true joy to be around.

Skating at Kevin Bell Arena

For the next few weeks, Flex students will be heading to Kevin Bell Arena for our PE activity on Wednesday afternoons. The rink is very cold, so please send your student to school with appropriate cold weather clothing, such as gloves, hats, and coats. We have items available for students to borrow if they forget them. Thank you!

Flex Digital Citizenship

As we return to our classrooms after so much time spent with online learning, the staff here at Flex have noticed a significant increase in distracted cell phone and technology use by our students. Part of our mission here at the school is to help students learn to live "adult lives," and with that comes the responsibility to act responsibly, especially in regards technology. Teaching students when it is appropriate to be using cell phones and be on non-educational content is the first step in this process. We are implementing new strategies to address this situation in our classrooms, and plan to employ community circles to facilitate discussions between students and staff. We realize that cell phone use, especially text messages, have become part of everyday life, and we hope to help students learn when and where it's appropriate to check them. You can help your student while they are in class by calling the office to leave messages and as a way to contact them in case of emergencies. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns, and thank you for your support!
