Re:Fuel – Sign Ups are Open! We’d Love To See You!

Re:Fuel relaunched on campus THIS TUESDAY! We had about 25 kids try it out this week! The purpose of Re:Fuel is to offer a space for Middle and High school students to be engaged with their learning and each other.  Re:Fuel will have time that is structured for learners to focus while working independently or collaboratively with others, organized time to build community with others, and time to just hang out! 

 We have a few new details for you to take note of:

  1. Students need to sign up in advance. The portal sign-up will normally open on Friday at 3pm and close Monday at 5pm.
  2. At this time 25 students can sign up.. If it fills up you can add yourself to the waitlist. So sign up early!
  3. Sign up will be available to students who have positive engagement in class and are making progress in lessons.
  4. Positive Engagement – for RE:Fuel purposes this means passing at least 4 classes and meeting your Live Lesson expectations for the previous week.
  5. While Re:Fuel runs from 9:00-3:00, Students can arrive and leave for the day when it is convenient for families. High School students can have off campus lunch from 11:50-12:50.
