FLEX HS November Newsletter

In this season of Thanksgiving, I would like to sincerely thank our parents, families and all those that support our students in their educational goals. We have recently completed our NWEA testing. This assessment helps educators identify areas of academic strength and areas where a student may need additional support. Our staff uses this assessment data to individualize student learning plans. We encourage parents/guardians to review the assessment results and if you have any questions, reach out to your student’s mentor teacher or an administrator. This test will also be administered in the Spring and will be an indicator of student academic growth over the school year.

Our vision at Flex High Michigan is to provide a learning environment and access to resources so all students can learn at high levels while preparing them for their transition after graduation. We will continue to work with students that are off track with their 4-year graduation cohort, to get them on track for graduation with their cohort group. To achieve academic success, students need to attend school and complete a minimum of one LEP/module a week. Many students have set the goal of two LEP/modules per week. If a student is behind in credits, their goal should be two modules a week.

Thank you for trusting us with the education of your students.

Culinary Arts:

We are currently launching our culinary arts program with Chief Diem. Students will have the opportunity to earn CTE required credits at both campuses with the culinary arts program. Until January, seniors have priority access to the program. Students will learn the practice of culinary arts and work toward earning a ServSafe certification for food handlers.

Certified Nursing Assistant Program (CNA):

Flex High of Michigan has launched a partnership with Soaring CNA training center. Students will have the opportunity to earn their certification as a CNA in a 4-week program. Priority access is available for seniors planning to graduate in December.

The process for application to the CNA program, beginning in January, for underclassmen will be shared. For participation in the CTE programs students will need to attend school for additional hours. The minimum hours are for core content classes and CTE class time is an additional time requirement.

Did you know that FLEX has a student group called the Soaring Falcons? We are already meeting weekly at the Flint Campus and hope to start meeting in Burton, soon! Please join if you are interested by scanning or clicking the QR code or email me if you have any questions!

FLEX High School is committed to preparing students to progress academically, to achieve success and to accept responsibility for themselves. As a part of this commitment, the school division has established attendance performance guidelines for all students.

A few items of note:

1. Students are expected to attend their weekly scheduled appointments and check in with their supervising teacher. Students may be dropped for non-attendance.

2. Guardians or Adult Students must contact their supervising teachers for missed appointments and may need to make up missed time.

3. FLEX High School is a year-round school and attendance during the summer session (July and August) is mandatory. Guardians or adult students are responsible to contact their supervising teachers for any appointments that may need to be missed.
