🌟 THANK YOU | We are so grateful to our Jefferson County Board of Education members for their tireless advocacy and unwavering dedication to JCPS.
Their passion for helping our students thrive is truly inspiring. Happy School Board Recognition Month!
Due to forecasted frigid temperatures in the early morning hours on Wednesday, January 22, we have made the decision to use a Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) day for students and staff. This decision was made with the safety and well-being of our students in mind, as they would be waiting at bus stops and walking to school in extremely cold conditions. We are also taking into consideration our school buildings and the stress these low temperatures could cause on the facilities. The National Weather Service tells us temperatures could drop as low as 10 below with windchill.
On short-term NTI days, instruction is asynchronous and self-paced, meaning students will not receive live, online lessons from a teacher.
Our Bates Elementary NTI plan can be found by clicking below:
