Even with a snow day, we've gotten a lot of awesome instruction time in this week!
Nichols Knights Announcements for Friday, February 3rd! Go Knights! https://youtu.be/WHS312ld6KY
Due to winter weather and hazardous road conditions, BCPS was closed on January 31st, 2023. This was a traditional snow day with the makeup day scheduled for May 26th.
You never know what kind of weather will show up this time of year! In an effort to be prepared for any NTI days we may run across this winter, here is 2022/23's NTI expectations and information.
Based on the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, online work recommendations for Elementary students are 1-2 hours daily.
We do encourage at least one hour a day for outside recreational time (if it is safe!)
NTI Participation is tracked through at least ONE of the following:
Email to and from student
Phone Call (parent, student, etc.)
Work submitted or logged in through SeeSaw, Google Classroom, Edgenuity, email, etc.
Assignment submitted through learning platform or email
Attendance at virtual office hours.
Attendance at class or small group virtual meeting
FOR NTI DAYS TO COUNT, WE MUST HEAR FROM YOU OR YOUR STUDENT!
Thank you!

We want to personally thank all the families who have already participated in our SchoolStore fundraiser! So far, over $800 has been raised!
If your family has not participated, there's still time!
This safe and easy fundraiser is 100% online so there is no face-to-face selling, collecting money, or delivering products. Your child will receive a prize just for participating, and more prizes will be awarded when goals are reached. Our SchoolStore website is also live for a whole year! This means that Nichols can earn money all year long from the Family Bookstore, the national online merchants and the donated Caring For Classrooms gift cards.
If you would still like to participate, please go to https://www.schoolstore.net/sid.t?0000180544
Thank you for your support!

Reminder! No school today, Monday, 1/16/23.
Today, remember to always push forward. In the words on Martin Luther King Jr, "If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward."
Our students and teachers have been hard at work! We'd like to take a moment to shout out our 5th grade STLP team for helping teach new technology to the rest of the school. Mrs. Kirk's 5th graders also spent time relaxing and reading! What a week!
