X-block

By: Teo Ni

Signing up for X-block on Mondays and Wednesdays can be difficult sometimes; especially if you are new to Needham High School or the system. X-block is a 30-minute period after the first block of the day where students can go meet with teachers to get extra help on their schoolwork. This is a very effective implication that the school system has put into the schedule. However, the steps to sign up for X-block are a little complicated. These are the steps to sign up for X-block:

First, go to https://needham.powerschool.com/public/home.html and sign in to your Powerschool account using the username and password the school has provided. If you forgot and don’t remember your information you can go to the grade level office and they will give you your username and password.

After you sign into your Powerschool account, scroll down to "adaptive scheduler" on the left navigation tab of the website and click on it.

After that is done, you can click on the “select session” option and sign up for whatever teacher you need help with.

And those are the steps to signing up for X-block. If you do have any questions about the process, make sure to go to the grade level office and they will answer them for you.
