Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) Days
In the event of school closure due to inclement weather, we would shift to non-traditional instruction (NTI). On NTI days, your child should work INDEPENDENTLY on Imagine Literacy (REQUIRED), Imagine Math (REQUIRED), and an assignment will posted in the Google Classroom site, of your child's teacher. The students know how to access their teacher's Google classroom and where to find the assignments. We sent home your child's QR code, email address, and password information, which can be used to login to their Chromebook.
Your child will have 3 days to complete their REQUIRED activities in order to receive credit for NTI participation. The activities are 20 minutes of Imagine Literacy, 20 minutes of Imagine Math and complete their assignment in Google Classroom . Your childβs teacher will be available via Zoom between the hours of 8:30-10:30 am. If you have any questions, feel free to join Zoom by using the Meeting ID sent home by your child's teacher. If you have any technical issues, please contact the FCPS Technology Help Desk at 859-381-4410
