How to Get Involved
How to Get Involved
Getting involved outside of the school day can enhance your high school experience. Commitments to Blake clubs/activities will vary from high school commitments. Learning to get involved, but not over-involved is a challenge entering high school.
Understanding Time:
IN CLASS Time: 33.5 hours per week
FLEX: 3+ hours minutes/per week (approx.) FLEX time is dedicated to accomplish the following:
Doing homework
Attending extra help
Making up an assignment
Planning your week
FLEX is a great chunk of time for students to prioritize what needs to be done. FLEX is embedded into the school day which helps preserve afterschool time for extracurricular activities.
“Getting involved” can mean:
Sports (15-20 hours per week)
Theater (time commitments will vary by time of year)
Student Government (Grade level specific activities) (varies on time of year/grade level)
Student Council (School-wide activities) (1-2 hours per week)
Employment
Volunteerism
Early in the fall we have a club day. Club commitments vary tremendously. Some clubs meet weekly, some monthly.
