PLD NTI Plan

Dear PLD Families,

As you know, Governor Beshear has asked all schools to remain closed until at least April 20.

Beginning on April 6, all FCPS schools will continue to provide instruction through Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) days. NTI days are working days for teachers and instructional days for students. Most FCPS students will access their instructional materials online on NTI days.

All PLD teachers have communicated with students to explain how to access their Google classroom or other online learning platforms they may be using. In most cases, students will log in to these platforms using their FCPS student email address. Students should check their email daily. Let us know if your student is having difficulty communicating with their teachers.

On NTI days, all teachers will maintain an online presence for student support from 8:00-11:00 and 12:00-3:00 each scheduled school day. During this time, teachers will respond to student emails, engage with students through their online learning platforms, and/or provide electronic feedback on student work.

Please encourage your student to spend time engaged in learning activities each school day. Teachers will be providing students with feedback on their work, and the content that is covered during this NTI period will be included on final exams at the end of the semester.

General weekly schedule for online learning:

(Students should expect approximately 30 minutes of instruction/work per class per day; Dual Credit courses follow college program’s expectations)

April 6-17: NTI weeks 1 &2

Teachers will review/introduce course content material through their online platforms and introduce students to online learning tools. Please have your student complete and turn in the active participation questions and assignments. We will ask teachers to let us know which students are not participating online so that we can arrange for paper materials to be sent to those students if they h

ave not already received them.

IF there is a need to continue NTI days beyond April 20, 2020 we will move forward with the same schedule.

Bottom line: Communicate with the school about your student's needs; be flexible and expect more changes.

If you have questions or need assistance, please contact the administrative team.
