Banquete I.S.D. administration and staff are continuously seeking unique and effective methods to enhance and improve the quality of education our students receive. As part of this continuing endeavor, the District has been allowed to participate in the Optional Flexible Year Program (OFYP). This is a program that allows a district to modify its instructional calendar to provide a flexible year program to meet the educational needs of its students, including providing intensive instructional services. This flexible year program is designed for students who did not or are likely to not perform successfully on an assessment instrument administered under

The District feels that this program will provide both an incentive for all students to achieve academic success and the extra attention and time that some students need to achieve that success. As with any educational endeavor, the success of this program will require everyone's support and willingness to work together as a team.
If you have any questions after reading the enclosed flyer, please contact the appropriate campus principal. She/He will be able to explain the program in more detail. Thank you for your assistance and all that you do for the District and our students.
