What is the program and why do we need it?
Evening FLEX High School in SAISD is a 100% virtual opportunity for 9th-12th grade students to earn initial/first-time credit for specific secondary courses during evening hours, twice a week, over an 8 week timeframe. The night school program is designed to run simultaneous to the student's daytime schedule. Teachers for the program will not necessarily be teachers from the campus that students are at by day.
The program is necessary so that students who wish to graduate after three years of high school may do so.
Additionally, this program can be operationalized for students who have fallen behind in their coursework and for those who are highly motivated to accelerate their course schedule.
When is class held?
Evening FLEX High School is typically offered on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 5:15 PM - 8:30 PM over an 8-week period for 16-instructional days. Students may work as quickly through course material as they wish, and some do finish the program early. Students must check in each Tuesday and Thursday night (and on the occasional Wednesday--see the calendar below) at exactly 5:15 PM and until they are graded out of the course.
We are currently slated to hold 4 sessions in the 2022-2023 school year.

Where do we meet and how does it work?
Evening FLEX High School is held over Zoom using CANVAS.
Students meet with a live teacher each class night (so attendance is mandatory). Students can use class time to work through material, take quizzes, conduct labs, sit for exams, and so on. Teachers work with students to ensure cohesive comprehension while differentiating for each student's various needs. Students must be in attendance beginning at 5:15 PM--it is the teacher's prerogative to dismiss students early (but only if the student is caught up on all of their work). Students may not exceed two absences. (The full attendance policy is below.)
Attendance Policy: Students are permitted to have two absences in a single session. On a third absence, a student will be withdrawn from the session. Because we only meet for 16 class nights, we are unable to extend any further absences to a student in a single session and still award credit according to stipulations set forth by the Texas Education Agency that have been applied to our school. Furthermore, if a student enters late, the late arrival will be documented; late arrivals will accrue. Be advised: A late arrival is defined as arriving into the Zoom session any time after 5:30 PM on a class night. Thus, a if a student accrues 3 late arrivals/tardies, then they will equate to a single absence. Therefore, students should be on time AND ensure they do not have after-school extracurricular events, doctor's appointments, or work to attend to on a Tuesday or Thursday night in Sessions I - III. (Note: Session IV contains two Wednesdays that are class nights in lieu of Tuesday nights due to holidays that will be observed on Fridays.)
