The default system reset takes place on July 1 of each year. There may be reasons at your school to delay this reset, such as summer school usage of Flex, etc.
The new school year “reset” captures the data from last school year and makes it available in “read-only” format under the “School Year” drop-down menu. Your system carries over some data for the new school year but many settings need to be reviewed and updated. Details will be communicated in a “New School Year Checklist” document each year. Any questions can be directed to the Flex Help Desk.
If you do not wish to have your Flex system rollover and reset for the new school year on July 1, admin can go to “System Settings” and set the Delay of School Year date. This will delay the Flex system rollover for that particular school.
Here are some additional parameters that apply:
- The delayed date can only be between July 1 - September 30.
- Once July 1 passes, the delay date cannot be readjusted and the option will be unavailable until the following March.
- The window for adjusting the Delay of School Year date is March 1 - June 30.
- Be sure to click “Update” when selecting this feature.
- It’s also important to go into the “Flex Periods” screen and adjust your end date for the flex periods that need to run for an extended period of time.
Below is the “System Settings” screen where an admin can make this change during the designated time frame:
