FLEX Information for the 21-22 School Year
Need help getting ready for next year? Read below for information on enrollment and forecasting. If you still have questions, contact us, we are happy to help.
Enrollment
If your student attends FLEX now and plans on staying next year, there is nothing you need to do. Students are automatically enrolled at FLEX for the 2021-22 school year.
If your student is going to attend a different school next fall, please contact FLEX at flex-online-school@beaverton.k12.or.us and the other school with this information.
If you or someone you know has a student who will be joining us for the first time next fall, please visit our enrollment page on the FLEX website to register.
Forecasting (Current Grades 5-11)
Selecting courses for FLEX for 2021/22 begins the week of March 29th (the week after Spring Break). We will send each family an online form with grade level course choices.
We are waiting until March 29th to finalize our course offerings because of our unique format and the number of students.
Questions about class offerings and forecasting can be directed to:
Secondary Counselor Eddy Fernandez: Edward_fernandez@beaverton.k12.or.us
Assistant Principal Mike Chamberlain: Michael_chamberlain@beaverton.k12.or.us

FLEX Graduation Announcement
FLEX Graduating Seniors and Guardians,
We are thrilled to share some important graduation information with you, so “Save the Date”! Our first FLEX Graduation Ceremony . . .
Friday, June 11, 2021 @ 7:00 pm
Tumwater Middle School (Timberland Middle School)
650 NW 118th Ave, Portland, OR 97229
All Beaverton Schools with seniors are planning for both an in-person graduation ceremony and a drive-through, parking lot ceremony. Schools will be receiving more specific safety guidelines soon to help us plan and we will share details with you. As of now, we simply do not know which type of ceremony we will be able to host. We also do not know about spectator safety guidelines so we will have to wait to share information regarding tickets and the number of guests allowed.
Library Book Bus - Last Day of Service
The last day for the Library Book Bus will be on Wednesday, March 17th. The Library Book Bus is unable to continue during Hybrid.
Resource - Reach Out Oregon
