End of Year Updates

End of Year Updates

Schools across Kentucky will remain closed for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year. We will continue with NTI days until Friday, May 15. Below are some important notes and considerations regarding this information:

  • The administration is collaborating with student leaders regarding how to celebrate the graduating class of 2020. More information will hopefully be released this week or next week.
  • I will post next week's NTI work tomorrow. It will be similar to this week's. Later this week, I will post the NTI work for the rest of the school year. It will primarily consist of reflective journal entries regarding the current epidemic. I am striving to keep NTI as stress free as possible while also being meaningful and relevant.
  • Late work should be turned in approx. one week before the end of the school year (around May 8). I do not know when grades are due. NTI will go to the last day; however, try to catch up on late work with plenty of time to ensure that there are no surprises!
  • If you are a senior and you have not been adopted, let me know! I think this is an awesome idea!
Hang in there and stay positive! Every experience, whether positive or negative, is another opportunity to reflect and grow! This year is definitely ending in a unique way. but it also allows you guys to leave your mark and legacy in how we handle it!

If there are any questions, feel free to email or text me on Remind!
