Students are expected to be on time, to be respectful, to work will all teachers cooperatively, to attend tutoring when requested, and to use the provided time in a productive manner.

FLEX is NOT a FREE-BLOCK; no playing games, sleeping or distracting others. Students are strongly encouraged to make effective use of this valuable time. It is imperative that you seek help from the instructor as soon as you encounter difficulty in the course. Students are also invited to form study groups and peer pairs for studying purposes.

You may sign up for FLEX by putting your name on the sign-up sheet in the classroom. Remember that there are priority days for FLEX, so I may not be able to pull you the day you want. DO NOT WAIT – sign up as soon as possible.
