There are many reasons why a high school student would need to take an online class, including but not limited to:  credit recovery, medical issues, or scheduling conflicts. Your high school counselor will be the one to determine your student's eligibility for a BSD FLEX course.  Then he/she will make the request to BSD FLEX.

If you need to take an online class to make up a failed class, improve a grade, or take a class which won't fit into your schedule, please see your school counselor and she/he will help you enroll.

We require that BSD FLEX students are concurrently enrolled in a BSD school. We are an additional resource for students who need to take a course outside of the classroom but we are not a full time online school. 

If you are a BSD student and feel that an online class would be a good fit for your situation, please contact your school counselor.  She/he will enroll you with BSD FLEX.

If you would like to attend online school full time, please contact FLEX Online School at flex-online-school@beaverton.k12.or.us or visit the FLEX Online School webpage.

Students are allowed to take only one BSD FLEX class at a time until they've demonstrated success.

All BSD FLEX courses are run through Canvas.

Please go to your Canvas Dashboard via BSD Student Bookmarks/Apps and accept the invitation from your online instructor.  Within the course you may be directed to other curriculum sites, such as Apex, McGraw Hill, or Newsela.  Grading will occur in the Canvas course.  

If you are unable to progress to the next activity in your Apex class, please contact your online teacher.

If you are having other technical issues, please contact the BSD student help desk or contact us at flex-support@beaverton.k12.or.us.

Online courses are not a ‘silver bullet’ or the best fit in every case.  BSD FLEX wants you and your students to have enough information to make the best decision. We encourage you and your students to carefully consider the table below.

Some online courses are eligible for NCAA approval but some are not.  Student athletes should confirm with their counselor and with BSD FLEX to determine if their specific class will meet NCAA requirements.
