Flex Block

Flex Block Time at GLSHS 

Beginning in the 2024-2025 School Year, GLSHS Time will transition to Flex Block Time. The ideals of Flex Block Time align within one or more of the five overarching GLSHS pillars - Academics, Arts, Athletics/Fitness, Career/Future Readiness, and Citizenship. Beginning October 30, 2024, Flex Block will increase in frequency. Flex Block will occur for a half hour block of time when all GLSHS Students are at the High School one day per week throughout the school year. 

Flex Block Time builds upon the Lunch and Learn/GL Time concepts in years past with increased structure and increased opportunities using the Flex scheduling system. All students will select from a variety of student-centered initiatives then report to a designated opportunity’s location. Students will have the option to meet with staff for academic support, enrichment, clubs or organizations meetings, or all of the above. 

In addition, Flex Block Time will also provide an increased Career and Future Readiness-related focus and Citizenship-based opportunities. They could be an extension of what is learned in their courses, learned through SmartFutures, the Career/Future Readiness Hub used by all GLSD students, and/or as a prelude for readiness beyond the regularly scheduled school day. 

Parents/Guardians, please continue to encourage your child(ren) to maximize each Flex Block Time opportunity to thoroughly prepare to do well and to do good during school and beyond!
