Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) Packet
In the event of a Snow Day, where students do not attend school, students are to complete work at home.
This work was sent home in your child’s folder. It consists of a Packet of Snow Day Work. Please keep this work in the back pocket of your child’s folder so it does not get lost.
On a snow day, please complete the snow day work. A variety of activities are listed for each content area,
On a Snow Day, our Classroom Facebook Group is a great way to contact me or find any materials you need, which is listed in the left column of this newsletter. You can also email me at: rachel.lindle@jessamine.kyschools.us
