and recreational activities are offered.

Each Noon dismissal day: from school dismissal to 6:00 p.m.
Each Faculty Professional Development Day or Conference Day/s 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.

The program is not available on when the school is closed on holidays, vacation days, or snow days.

Only available under a contract basis. This is not a drop-in option.

Please be sure to notify your child’s teacher and the FLEX director, Susan Schott with either a note or phone
call any time there will be a change in routine, such as going home with a friend rather than attending FLEX
Day/Study Hall. These changes may be being picked up earlier from FLEX than usual or being picked up by
someone not indicated on the Driver Authorization Form.

Students enrolled in the FLEX Day/Study Hall Program will report directly to FLEX, at school dismissal, to be
checked in. Snacks will be provided and the option of recreational activity is available to these students.
Supervised study hall is held in the library.

In addition to regular enrollment, only if there is space available, the program will accept children on a “drop-in” basis. If, for example, you have regular enrollment on Monday’s and Tuesday’s but find occasionally you have need of the program on another day, you may use the “drop-in” option. Drop-in enrollment is also open to families not regularly enrolled in FLEX Day/Study Hall, only if space is available. We ask for 24-hour advance notice from parents for drop-in enrollment in order to staff the program properly. If your child becomes a regular drop-in, we will require that you enroll your child in the program “under contract”. To enroll your child on a drop-in basis, please contact Susan Schott at sschott@pikeschool.org or for last minute emergency situations, the front desk at 978-475-1197. Please remember we need 24-hours advance notice.
