Note to Families: NTI Information
This note contains important information about our Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) plan.
Student Work & Access
All students received NTI packets in their homeroom class in September as communicated in our previous update. These packets will contain work for all 10 NTI days and should stay at home. Please be sure you have your student's packet; if not, reach out to their homeroom teacher.
For students with internet access, there is an option to complete assignments online. All online assignments will be posted by 8:00 AM on the morning of the NTI day.
Teacher Availability
Teachers will be available to help students via Google Meet from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
All student NTI information, including assignments and the Google Meet link, will be posted in your student's Google Classroom under the "NTI" category.
To support families who need help in the evenings, at least one teacher from each grade will be available from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM for each NTI day. This contact information will be posted on Google Classroom and shared by individual grade levels.
Teachers will also be available during school hours to respond to emails.

Small Groups Launching
My name is Katie Jones, and I am the Mental Health Counselor at EJMS. I will be launching several small, supportive groups for students navigating challenges related to anxiety, stress, and low mood. These groups aim to provide a safe space for students to connect, learn healthy coping mechanisms, and build resilience. Groups will meet once a week for 8 weeks during a non-core academic class.
Please complete this brief form if you feel your child would benefit from this resource.
