Before You Start
Double-check that the technical integration steps are complete. Review the checklist here.
Stage 1

Discover

➜
Watch the FlexTime Introduction series to understand how periods, activities, and attendance work together.
➜
Review the setup and create your FlexTime periods. Map FlexTime with your school schedule. Once completed, activities can be added in bulk or individually by teachers and staff.
Stage 2

Build

➜
Create activities. Build enrichment, support, or intervention sessions with teachers or staff.
➜
Enable check-in system. Decide how students will join activities (e.g., kiosk, teacher check-in).
➜
Create Homerooms for single-click assignment of all unregistered students to an activity.
➜
Prepare your staff. Host a meeting and show teachers and staff how to create activities and take attendance. 
  
💡
TIP:

Enable teacher collaboration on periods. Toggling the collaboration setting when creating a period lets teachers add their own activities.

Stage 3

Launch

➜
Set a date for launch. If you've connected your SIS with Minga, let staff and families know, and some periods and activities created, then you're ready to launch!
➜
Assign students to activities. Teachers and counselors place students who need mandatory support or intervention into specific sessions. Open remaining periods for student self-registration.
➜
Use the FlexTime dashboard. Watch student registrations, check-ins, and unregistered students as each period begins.
➜
Register unregistered students. Identify and place any students who have not registered in their homeroom activities using the FlexTime unregistered report.

Stage 4

Refine

➜
Review attendance and participation. Identify underfilled activities or students not consistently attending.
➜
Make small changes to improve FlexTime processes. Refine how students are placed to reduce gaps, reduce manual follow-up, and adjust restrictions where needed.
  
💡
TIP:

Review. Refine. Repeat. FlexTime evolves with your school. Regularly checking participation and getting feedback turns a good FlexTime program into a great one.
