NTI Information and Assistance

Chancey Elementary Short-Term NTI Plan

In the case we have inclement weather, we plan to continue with Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) as much as possible. 

With advance notice, we will plan to send students home with a device and the next steps on work. 

Teachers and staff will be available to support students via the digital platform or email. 

Thanks for your support!

What is short-term NTI? 

Short-term NTI is asynchronous (self-paced, non-live) instruction provided by the school, 

accompanied by teacher and/or admin office hours for live support.

What will the work look like? 

Chancey Elementary students will follow their grade level NTI schedule which will

be located in Google Classroom. Daily work will include a variety of assignments found

on their Google Classroom. Assignments will include a due date. Most work

will need to be submitted within 24 hours of the assigned date (extenuating circumstances

may allow extensions according to the JCPS attendance policy).

Where do students log in?

 Using your student’s assigned Chromebook, student assignments are located in

the Google Classroom. Go to the waffle (icon is 9 small gray dots on the upper-

right corner of the screen) and then select the classroom icon (green chalkboard).

Google Classroom links are included as well in the grade-specific guidance

attached.

Please review the below links for additional assistance in understanding Google

Classroom.

What are students expected to do?

Students are expected to login to their assigned teacher’s Google classroom and

complete the assigned tasks within 24 hours of being assigned. We understand

that circumstances may keep them from completing the work at a particular time

therefore, communication with the teacher is required if there is a need for

additional time to complete assignments. We ask that students join their teacher at 8:15am daily for a morning meeting and

an opportunity to ask any questions they might have regarding asynchronous

assignments in Google classroom.

School Hours & Office Phone

Our virtual school office hours will be from 7:00-3:30. Phones will be answered

throughout the day. You can reach us at (502) 485-8387.

School Contacts

 It is a priority that you are able to reach out and speak to your child’s teacher for

help with NTI. All staff will be checking school email from 7:30AM-2:30 PM.

Teachers will also have a designated office hour that will be communicated.

If you reach out after the conclusion of the instructional day, please expect a reply

the following school day.

Communication 

We will provide updates through School Messenger. In addition to School

Messenger, teachers may communicate via email and their classroom

communication tools (Class Dojo, Remind, etc).

Attendance

On NTI days, student participation will be tracked. The following are ways in which

student participation will be monitored: participation in Google morning meetings

or office hours; submission of work in Google classroom; student time logged into

a learning management software system completing assignments.
