Good Afternoon Cochran Families,

This year, we are revisiting our Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) plan for our school. NTI will be a blend of asynchronous instruction (Google Classroom assignment) and synchronous availability to teachers. As we prepare for possible Non-Traditional Instruction, we must be sure that all of our students have the technology to access to Google Classroom.

Please complete this form so that we can best support your technological needs. This form needs to be completed for each student. If the school does not receive completion from a student, it will be assumed the student has access to technology to complete NTI assignments in Google Classroom.

Please check your students folder as we sent an NTI letter, Chromebook Expectations, and the JCPS acceptable Use Policy home today. Please return the NTI Chromebook Expectations back by this Friday 11/21/25.

Students who indicate a need for a JCPS Chromebook during NTI days must have a signed NTI Chromebook agreement.

We appreciate your support as we prepare our NTI plan in case we have inclement weather this winter.

Sincerely,

Ms. Cheatham

Principal

REMINDER | JCPS will be closed on Thursday, Nov. 27, and Friday, Nov. 28. Wishing everyone a safe, restful, and happy Thanksgiving Break!

Happy Thanksgiving. JCPS will be closed Thursday, Nov. 27 and Friday, Nov. 28.
Good Afternoon Cochran Nation, Last week I sent information regarding our NTI plan. We originally stated that Chromebooks for those who indicated a need on our form, would be sent out today. However, due to new JCPS NTI guidance and stakeholder feedback, we will not be sending home Chromebooks at this time. We will keep you updated and let you know when we will send them home. For now, should a NTI day be scheduled and your student does not have a Chromebook with them or internet access, your student has NTI work in their folder. If your student does not have NTI work in their folder, please reach out to their teacher. Thank You, Melissa Cheatham
