Dear Parents/Guardians and Students,
As we go through the process of NTI (Non-Traditional Instruction) across the state, we are getting new guidance daily, on how to handle this unique educational environment best. As we move forward, (some teachers already have), teachers will be reaching out to you or your child each week to have interaction on how they are doing. Teachers will be using three methods to assist with checking on student progress and documenting students as participating. The documentation of these interactions is part of our accountability for participation during this time.
* Posting of Google Classroom assignments – Students complete and turn in assignments serve as an interaction. Teachers will count this as interaction and participation.
* Sending emails to see how students are doing with NTI work. A response from a parent or student to the email will serve as an interaction and count toward participation.
* If teachers have not communicated with you or your student electronically, they will reach out to you via phone to make sure students are doing OK and to offer any assistance with the school work.
We hope that this does not overwhelm anyone as we go through the process. If students are responding to Google classroom, the teacher does not need to send an email or call. If a student or guardian responds to email, the teacher will not need to call. Teachers will make phone calls to check on students if they have not had either of the other two forms of interaction.
As with any of this, please feel free to reach out at any time for clarification on assignments or help.
Thank you again for your support and understanding.
Stay safe and healthy,
Mike Key
