Student Progress
Submitting quizzes/worksheets on time is an important aspect of a Flex Direct course. Students enrolled in a Flex Direct course agree to submit the quizzes/worksheets by the due dates, and this meets the attendance requirement for these courses. This enables our partner schools to review student work throughout the school year and to see measurable progress that correlates to state standards.
When you receive the Flex Direct packet, be sure to review the submission schedule for specific submission dates.
