FLVS Corkboard: Summer Edition

Ah, summer. It’s the ideal time for hanging out with friends, heading to the pool or the beach, soaking up the warm weather, enjoying cookouts, reading good books, and maybe taking a vacation with family. It’s been a great year, and you’ve earned a break!

“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.” – John Lubbock

In between all the fun, be sure take a few minutes to catch up on FLVS happenings!

Summer Enrollment

Here’s a joke for you. “What did the bread do during summer vacation?” “Nothing. It just loafed around!”

Summer is also great time for elementary students to start one of our special area courses! Did you know June is Internet Safety Month? In Elementary Technology, students are introduced to essential skills in digital citizenship–learning all about ways to safely navigate the worldwide web.

FLVS Full Time

FLVS Full Time enrollment is open for the 2019-20 school year for all grades! FLVS Full Time works much like a traditional public school, with the exception that students work from the comfort of their own home. Like in a traditional physical school, classes start in August and end in May and students have a load of six courses at one time – no more, no less. Explore the differences between FLVS Flex and FLVS Full Time.
