Semester 2 starts Monday, February 8th
- Login to StudentVUE (or parents, go to ParentVUE) and click on Class Schedule. That will tell you the schedule for the current day, and you can also choose Semester 2. (disregard the class times and period #)
- Find out if today is an A day or a B day, by checking this calendar: A/B Day schedule for FLEX Online School
- Your schedule will remain the same all semester, so write it down in a place that you will see it each day, so you know what classes to check in for.
- Remember you are welcome to complete work for classes on any day of the week. A and B days let you know when your help sessions are scheduled and when you need to check in with the attendance link/form.

Volunteering with FOCS and FLEX Online School
In order to volunteer (including over Zoom), it is a district policy that you must be approved in BSD’s Better Impact volunteer system.
If you have previously volunteered at a school in BSD and would like to add FLEX to your list of schools please send an email to update_volunteer_locations@beaverton.k12.or.us and request FLEX to be added. (You may also ask for your previous school to be removed).
If you have never volunteered within the Beaverton School District, you will need to create a volunteer account, which includes a background check. Visit the BSD website or you can click on this link Create a Volunteer Account. When creating your profile, list FLEX as your school.
Once you have been cleared to volunteer we will send you an email!
If you have any questions about volunteering, please contact Pam Jeffery at focs.volunteerlead@gmail.com

Walk & Roll: It’s Good for Your Heart
Whether you walk or bike a few blocks or over a mile, physical activity is good for your heart, your whole body, and it’s fun! With cold winter weather, children spend less time playing outside, but a nice brisk walk or bike ride will help achieve their recommended 60 minutes daily exercise and help prevent childhood obesity and support healthy bones.
