& Alternative Learning Opportunities
Don’t waste any more time manually organizing flex schedules. With just a few clicks, teachers and admins can set up, adjust, and manage flex periods that support every student’s needs. Whether it’s make-up classes, re-test, interventions, office hours, or extracurricular activities, organizing it all takes minutes—not hours.
Tools That Make FlexTime Scheduling a Breeze
- Manage enrollment with flexible rosters, class limits, and registration cut-off times—plus smart student assignment by grade, group, or individual needs
- Prevent conflicts with “No Party” groups that keep certain students from enrolling together
- Assign and automatically notify students who need to come by and see you in just a couple of clicks
PERSONALIZED LEARNING
Nurture Student Interests With Personalized Learning Paths
Give students the freedom to take ownership of their learning. They can explore all available flex activities, view real-time class availability, and register for options that match their interests—unless already assigned by a teacher. It’s an easy, empowering way to support personalized learning at scale.
Give Students Voice and Choice—With Smart Boundaries
- Students can easily join activities assigned by teachers or choose their own with just a few clicks
- Keep enrollment organized with restrictions that guide students to appropriate options
- Ensure every student is placed by auto-assigning unregistered students to their homeroom teacher’s activity

FAQs – FlexTime Manager
FlexTime Manager is Minga’s powerful and intuitive tool for building, scheduling, and managing flex periods throughout the school day. It replaces manual spreadsheets and disconnected tools with a seamless system for organizing personalized learning, enrichment, advisory, intervention, and make-up sessions—all in just a few clicks.
Teachers can assign students directly, or students can self-register for activities that match their needs and interests. Check ins are fast and secure with digital student IDs, and schools using PBIS can automatically reward participation through integrated point systems. With clear dashboards and insightful reporting, FlexTime Manager simplifies attendance, enhances visibility, and supports student accountability, making it an essential solution for managing modern, flexible learning environments.
Yes, students can check themselves into a FlexTime activity using secure self-check-ins. Minga supports multiple self-check-in options, including scanning a unique QR code or using Kiosk Mode on any web-enabled device like a Chromebook or iPad. Schools can place kiosks in common areas for fast, convenient access, and staff can still monitor or check students in manually using the app or a scanner when needed.
Yes, when a student checks into their flex activity, their hall pass can now automatically end. With the latest Minga update, flex period check ins are directly linked to hall passes, eliminating the need for manual intervention or relying only on timers. This streamlines student movement, improves accountability, and makes Flex transitions even more efficient.
Yes, students can now automatically earn reward points when they check in to a flex activity. With Minga’s latest updates, FlexTime check ins are directly connected to rewards, meaning students receive their designated points instantly upon successful check in — no need for additional behavior tags or QR code setups.
Yes, multiple teachers can be assigned to manage or oversee the same FlexTime activity.
Yes, you can set “lock” options to allow the following restrictions: open to everybody, open only to teachers to assign, open to students to self-register, open only to admin.
FlexTime works on a first-come, first-serve basis. Once assigned, a student cannot be scheduled for another activity in the same period. (A teacher, however, can choose to register a student into a non-compulsory flex activity. In this instance, the registered student can choose to attend something else, if they wish.)
No, teacher-assigned activities will always override a student’s ability to self-select a FlexTime activity.
