3.8 Flex Fridays (OpenEd Academy)
Every week, your student is invited to join Flex Fridays - a virtual gathering where OpenEd learners come together to join breakout rooms packed with different activities.
This fun, community-focused space is a great way for your student to connect with others who share their interests.
Past breakout room topics include:
- Minecraft
- LEGOs
- Storytime
- Young Entrepreneurs Show & Tell
- Watercolors
- Disney Trivia
- Favorite Books
- ...And many more!
Note: Flex Fridays are led by OpenEd's passionate and supportive Community team.
Your student's homeroom teacher might join the fun, but they won't be the person leading the activities.

We'll send you a reminder email with the link to join, too.
Important: Your student will need to individually sign up for each Flex Friday that they want to join! This helps us accurately track attendance.
We can't wait to see your student at a Flex Friday event soon!
