The Gift of Time!!!

Why do we have Flex?

To afford you time to address your academic, personal, social and mental health needs.

​

• Frees up time in the mornings, at lunch, and in the evenings - you can complete homework during this time or access help

​

• Opens up time for volunteering and career opportunities
• Allows you extra time to participate in activities you enjoy
• Affords you time to access additional supports
• Fosters spirit and community

​

• Work on homework, upcoming assignments, projects, necessary review and test preparation

​
