2026 Flex Teacher/Staff BTS Checklist

Teacher & Staff “Back-to-School” Checklist - 2026

Flex school year: July 1 – June 30
Below is what resets on July 1st, unless your school customizes this date.

1. General Information

After rollover, prior-year data is still available in read-only mode via the School Year dropdown.
Groups and Activities will not be copied over to the new school year. These will need to be recreated for the new year.

Groups may not be available for selection or creation until your SIS is updated for the new school year, students have started syncing into Flex, and/or Admins make updates to system settings and groups. (Discuss questions with your Flex Admin team.)
Adults can reference Groups and Activities from the prior school year by using the “School Year” drop-down (shown above), which may be helpful when rebuilding for the new year.
Tip: Use two browsers and copy/paste information from last year to this year.

Restricted students: Previous restrictions will not be copied over to the new school year.
Autoassign “Preference List” User Interface: For schools using Autoassign, Preference List settings within the user interface screen will not be copied over to the new school year.
Be sure to check with your Flex Admin team regarding any changes to workflow or settings that may be different than last year.
