Ridiculous that we are even debating this. My kids are already dreading the idea of sitting in a hot classroom in June while their friends go to camp. Just let them do the work from home.

Makes zero sense to not have a backup plan. Other districts do it without any problems. Just give the kids the assignments and lets get it over with.

What would be the reason for not having this as an alternative? Even pre Covid we had this in place at Holy Trinity. Younger children got a snow day packet at the beginning of the year and older children were sent home with Chromebooks when winter weather threatened which is nearly always predictable.

all JCPS schools have an NTI. APS should also.

Very disappointed that we lack the option for NTI days and apparently also had no snow days built into the calendar. We need to remedy this situation ASAP before our kids are in school through Mid June. At that point, there will be dismal attendance because Anchorage parents are not going to miss expensive pre-planned vacations for lack of proper planning for snow days .

NTI vs a June school day.... NTI would always win.

Maybe if we did take extra time to start school this wouldn’t be a big issue. Not having a contingency plan in place shows that the current board isn’t planning for unforeseen events. Covid is unforeseen, we know snow days are a potential event.

In ER cases I like the idea the school and teachers can pivot when needed.

One of my children is attending a JCPS high school and has experienced NTI days this school year. It has been independent assignments posted on Google Classroom for him to complete. It has worked well.

APS needs an option to do NTI
