Since our access to the Library and Computer Labs is limited, I have scheduled only two days per week in the Lab (When students are in the Computer Lab, they are able to leave the Lab and work in the Library when they need to.) " Flexible Days" are intended to provide time for the regular science curriculum to be taught,  to give who need more time a chance to catch up, and they can also be used for addtional Computer Lab time if it becomes available.  Students are always free to continue work outside of class during FIST, after school (the Library is usually open until 4:30 pm)  and at home
